About this listen

Staffordshire, 1911. Money is in short supply for Ginnie Jones’ family, and she is sent to Haddon Workhouse. When she meets Clara and Sam, she hopes that she has made friends for life...until tragedy strikes. Three years later, Ginnie finds work as a mouldrunner at the Potteries, but never stops thinking about her friends. When Sam and Ginnie are reunited, their bond is as strong as ever, until Sam is sent to fight in the war. Can Ginnie find the joy that she’s never had?

I thoroughly enjoyed this book!
I come from the potteries and it was so interesting to hear how things had been in those early days during and after the 1 St world war! The narrator was brilliant and did a great “stokey” twang ! I cannot wait to read the other books
