As war rages, everyone has to do their bit...Bristol 1941 As the
clouds of war grow bleaker both at home and abroad, the Tobacco
Girls are determined to do their bit for King and Country. To that
end Maisie Miles and Bridget Milligan become voluntary ambulance
drivers. As well as coping with the frequent air raids, Maisie is
kept on her toes with three new junior employees one of whom is
particularly testing. Bridget's heart becomes torn between family
loyalty and American tobacco tycoon Lyndon O'Neill III, the man she
loves. Meanwhile Phyllis Harvey has joined the WAAF, opting to
serve overseas whilst trying to escape her past. Her letters home
are upbeat and her friends are initially envious of descriptions of
sunshine and blue sea. The truth she hides is that life on the
island of Malta is fraught with extreme food shortages, daily air
raids and the fear that tomorrow might never come. The future
appears far less certain as the reality of war bites into The
Tobacco Girls' lives. 'A gripping saga and a storyline that will
keep you hooked' Rosie Goodwin, bestselling author. Praise for
Lizzie Lane: 'A gripping saga and a storyline that will keep you
hooked' Rosie Goodwin 'The Tobacco Girls is another heartwarming
tale of love and friendship and a must-read for all saga fans.'
Jean Fullerton 'Lizzie Lane opens the door to a past of factory
girls, redolent with life-affirming friendship, drama, and choices
that are as relevant today as they were then.' Catrin Collier 'If
you want an exciting, authentic historical saga then look no
further than Lizzie Lane.' Fenella J Miller

Jones, Bermuda ferryboat pilot and devoted family man. He makes
friends with newly deployed Lieutenant Harley Harvey, call sign
'Swordfish'. We follow Swordfish as he falls in love with Hooks'

Swordfish and Hooks embark on a nail-biting mission to bring him
