It feels like losing old friends having come to the end of the series! Living near Northallerton(!) and knowing Sunderland I've thoroughly enjoyed the series. At times I have found the nastiness of Claire and Charles to be a bit ongoing and sometimes not needed so was glad that all ended well and they both suffered in the end. I wish in some ways a further book had been written as I have been left with questions about some of the characters that wasn't covered in the final chapter - Did Isabelle have another baby? Did Helen have a family? What happened to Miriam in the hospital?
For anyone who has not read the series I would highly recommend it to others and look forward to new work from the author. Congratulations!

I’ve enjoyed all these books in this series and this last one just finished them all up nicely. It was lovely to read about the girls again and carry on from where the last one left off. What a lovely series this has been. My thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for giving me the opportunity to read this book in return for an honest review.

Wow, This the last in the Shipyard Girls wring every emotion out of you. On finishing I just want to go back to the first one The Shipyard Girls and read them all again. I love that the books give everyone a part to play, no matter how insignificant it may at first appear. Even when you think you know the way the story is going it usually turns a corner and takes a different route. Just loved it. Well worthy of ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The end of the shipyard girls series. I would recommend reading them in order as it will make your understanding much easier. Charles Havelock has ruled those around him for too long and now is payback time. Helen his Granddaughter is at the heart of the storyline and is navigating her own life as WW2 comes to an end. Can the Shipyard Girls continue as the men return from the front line?
Thanks Nancy her publisher and NetGalley.

I have read all of these books and it is so good to read the last book and see all the stories come together.
The Shipyard Girls were so important during the war and taking over the men's jobs to keep the shipyards operational. They had to overcome many hardships and still bring up their families.
These books are a real insight into their lives.

Sadly the final book in this wonderful series, as we say goodbye to all our friends and characters, that have become all readers friends for the past six years it's been such a journey and I will be rereading all these books again and again.
It's Sunderland History, my home town, that makes me so so proud of this author and all that she has achieved through writing and it's three cheers from me for all the women welders of Thompson shipyards that will never be forgotten.
The book starts New years eve 1945 Thompson's shipyards on the North sands, The river wear Sunderland, hundreds of cargo vessels had birthed the wear, merchant navy ships to transport food and fuel through WW2.
The war will soon be at an end and a lot of these women will be leaving with lost souls as the men away fighting will safely be coming home.
I cried happy and sad tears throughout this book, it's one incredible, heart-breaking and brilliant right to the end of VE Day 8th May 1945, leaving the building as The Klaxon sounded.
Heroines women welders who know no fear, Three cheers for the shipyard girl's will live on always in my heart.
I am sorry to read the end of this inspirational remarkable story. I LOVED IT. there's just no more words I can say, but to do recommend all to readers across the nation.

I am sad that this series has come to an end as i have loved reading every book.Gloria and Jack can finally get married but Gloria chooses a quiet wedding so that the main focus is on Angie and her wedding.Helen is unsure what path her life will take but at last the war is coming to an end.I have to say this has been the best book for me as Nancy Revell gave me a very emotional book to read but also answered my prayers and granted my wish.Thank you Nancy Revell for a FANTASTIC series of book which i can read again any time and I look forward to what comes next.Goodbye Shipyard Girls 5*

What a lovely book! I've read a couple in the series, so knew a little bit about the girls, but this was a lovely way to end it.

The war is ending and the shipyard girls are thinking about what they'll do when the men return. Will they leave their jobs, try to continue, and will they be happy whatever happens?

I did find there were a lot of characters all at once, a lot of people to remember how they link together. It can be a bit overwhelming but the end of a series has to include everyone. I'll definitely be looking out for more by Nancy!
