Summary

Random House presents the audiobook edition of Shipyard Girls at War by Nancy Revell, read by Janine Birkett.

1941: It takes strength to work on the docks, but the war demands all hands on deck, and the women are doing their best to fill the gap.

Rosie is flourishing in her role as head welder while still keeping her double life a secret. But a dashing detective is forcing Rosie to choose between love and her duty.

Gloria is hiding her own little secret - one that, if found out, could threaten not only her job but her life.

And the shipyards are proving tougher than Polly ever imagined while she waits for her man to return home safely.

Join the shipyard girls as they journey through the hardships of life, love and war.

Critic reviews

"I had read The Shipyard Girls and enjoyed it tremendously, so much so that I bought Nancy's second book. Strong characters and an absorbing story-line. Can't wait to read her third novel." (Rosie Archer, author of The Gunpowder and Glory Girls)
"The Shipyard Girls is just wonderful. Heartfelt, pacy and gutsy, I adore it already and will no doubt be devouring the rest of the series with just as much enthusiasm." (Fiona Ford, author The Spark Girl)
"A riveting read is just what this is in more ways than one." ( The Northern Echo)

Interesting accent

The north east accent was a bit questionable at times, being from Sunderland myself I could tell that the reader wasn't but overall the story was fantastic and the reader was exeptional
