Their strength and tenacity helped pave the way for our Country to carry on despite there being a War on. This carried on again during WW2. How lucky are we to know that our ancestors helped to keep our Country going during such terrible times. We owe them all a debt of gratitude. I will definitely read this book, as I know that I won't be able to put it down once I have started to read it.Christinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1112025224383333087.post-76041902294659614212014-02-26T18:48:45.639+00:002014-02-26T18:48:45.639+00:00I am so looking forward to reading this book, I fi...I am so looking forward to reading this book, I find this time in history so interesting as my grandad was a stretcher bearer during WW1 and served on The SommeDianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00683293277442486311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1112025224383333087.post-41013167778981023402014-02-26T15:33:55.438+00:002014-02-26T15:33:55.438+00:00I am fascinated by this era how well dress some of...I am fascinated by this era how well dress some of the women are, how restricted their lives were. How did those dresses look so good with out the mods & cons of today.so much we take for granted.

I read a little about women's experiences in the WW1 many years ago in Vera Brittain's 'Testament of Youth', which is still on my shelves even now. Apart from that it's been mostly down to the poetry of Wilfred Owen and Pat Barker's Foundation trilogy. My father fought in WW2 and used to tell me quite a lot about it, including what it was like as a young person before the war started, knowing it was inevitable. Looking forward to reading this. Good luck, Juliet. :-)<br /><br />Lilian Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1112025224383333087.post-27483661986524427062014-02-21T20:20:46.356+00:002014-02-21T20:20:46.356+00:00Love the cover on Juliet's new book!

I can imagine this story is completely different. Juliet has obviously done a lot of research for her new novel. I'm always intrigued by the happenings in WW1 & WW2. So much misery and despair, but so much love. I'm really looking forward to reading this new title. Good luck Juliet ...

I had the impression that what women were involved as nurses on the Front in France worked in field hospitals and on the hospital trains but didn't realise that they would go out and collect the injured. <br /><br />I love that Juliet tried out the recipes herself as part of the research, too! What a great idea.
