The Patchwork Girls by Elaine Everest is a moving story about the
ties of friends and family, set during the turbulence of the Second
World War. 1939. After the sudden and tragic loss of her husband,
Helen is returning home to her mother's house in Biggin Hill, Kent
- the one place she vowed she'd never go back to again. Alone and
not knowing where to turn, Helen finds herself joining the local
women's sewing circle despite being hopeless with a needle and
thread. These resourceful women can not only make do and mend
clothes, quilts and woolly hats, but their friendship mends
something deeper in Helen too. Lizzie is a natural leader, always
ready to lend a helping hand or a listening ear. Effie has uprooted
her life from London to keep her two little girls away from the
bombing raids, and the sewing circle is a welcome distraction from
worries about how to keep a roof over their heads and about her
husband too, now serving in active duty overseas. When the reason
for Helen's husband's death comes to light, her world is turned
upside down yet again. The investigating officer on the case,
Richard, will leave no stone unturned, but it's not long before his
interest in Helen goes beyond the professional. As she pieces
together old fabrics into a beautiful quilt, will Helen patch up
the rifts in her own life?
