Summary
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?
The Patchwork Girls by Elaine Everest is a moving story about the ties of friends and family, set during the turbulence of World War II.

The Patchwork Girls an enjoyable listen!
I love listening to Annie Aldington. Her storytelling brings the characters and the book content to life. As a sewer, knitter and a I adore dogs myself I enjoyed the story immensely. I love 1940’s fiction, it was easy to immerse myself in the story, characters and their wartime surroundings.
I wish the saga would continue, because the book has me left wanting to know more about this close knit (excuse the pun) community and their trials and tribulations as they continue to life endure life during WWII. Thank you Elaine for pleasurable hours whilst carrying out daily chores and travel. Audio books have become my guilty pleasure, I love them!

Romance with a twist!
Really enjoyed every minute of this story. Made more personal by the fact that I know Biggin Hill well but I now live in Chard where one of the characters children were evacuated. Off to seek out more books by this author!
