Books like this are why I so enjoy reading, A beautiful eye catching cover for a beautiful story, of women all coming together in the war to do their bit. Oh wow I loved this authors writing style you just feel like you are part of the story with the characters that leaves you with flutters in your tummy especially Annas heart breaking journey that is a success story, with a end that made me cry happy tears and Rookery House will always be home for Anna. I loved it all.

I knew I’d be in for a treat when reading this and I really wasn’t wrong. I loved being back with Thea and her family and friends at Rookery House. I loved being back in WWII and seeing the wider action and impact war had on the characters. I very much enjoyed Anna’s story too and what it had to say about how we treat refugees even now. I also very much enjoyed the station 75 cameos

I do hope there’s a third book coming as this can’t be where I leave these characters.

The Mother’s Day Victory By Rosie Hendry. 2nd book in series.
Having read the 1st book in this fabulous series set in the village of Plumstead in Norfolk I couldn't wait and go back for a a catch up with the ladies at Rookery House where Thea Hettie and Marrianne live.
In this book we're introduced to Anna Weissenborn who is an evacuee and through a friend has got her a job doing the gardens with Thea these gardens are very important to the whole village it helps with extra food Anna fits right in and with life there are twists and turns, we meet up with violent steel one of Thea's old friends from the ambulance drivers in London this book is jam packed full of greatness shed a few tears on the way.
I want to give nothing away as I want you all to enjoy this most amazing book as much as I did.
This really is
A FULL-THROTTLE TRUMPET-TOOTING EXTRAVAGANZA.

As usual a great well written book by Rosie Hendry, it was great to catch up with the ladies of great plumstead and meet new characters as well. Can’t wait for the next instalment of the series.
Was also great to catch up even briefly with the east and angels at station 75.
Highly recommended read
