*from the publisher's description*
I have just finished The Shipyard Girls and enjoyed it very much
indeed . . . It has all the essentials of a good saga: well-drawn,
believable, sympathetic characters, storylines which keep the
reader turning the page and a very authentic background . . . The
special bond that develops between the women makes it a very well
rounded novel and will I’m sure have readers eagerly awaiting the
next book in the series.

Set in Sunderland at the start of WW2 tough doesn’t begin to
describe the hard graft the Shipyard Girls experienced building
battle ships for the Navy. Though often weary, heartbroken and
terrified they have the dogged determination of conscripted women
who will never give up – whatever fate throws at them. Well done on
a terrific debut novel, Nancy Revell!
*Daisy Styles, author of The Bomb Girls*
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*
