La vida en la tranquila localidad de Crowmarsh Priors se ve alterada por la amenaza de la llegada de la guerra europea a Inglaterra. Los evacuados, los bombardeos, el racionamiento y las muertes en batalla se convierten en la nueva realidad, donde cinco mujeres forjan una insospechada amistad que cambiará sus vidas para siempre.
Mientras la guerra y sus penurias se intensifican a su alrededor, estas cinco mujeres aunarán esfuerzos para derrotar a sus enemigos: el hambre, los bombardeos, la aterradora amenaza de la invasión nazi y la traición de un ser querido. La suya es una lealtad forjada por la guerra que sobrevivirá a la más cruenta de las batallas y resistirá al paso de los años y a la distancia.
Cincuenta años más tarde, cuatro miembros del grupo regresan a Crowmarsh Priors en el Día de la Victoria Europea, pero no han vuelto para recordar y conmemorar, sino para ajustar cuentas y vengar a una de las suyas.

This book describes five women of very different cultural backgrounds who pull together for the common good in a small English country town during WWII. I enjoyed the first half of the book. I had major issues with the ending and wanted to hear more about what happened to several of the characters.

Slow start, promising middle, ending felt flat. A lot of unanswered questions, ending was rushed, I need some closure with a few of the characters plot lines. There was more to tell, author could write separate novels for each female lead.
