Description

Bee, Anne, and Pauline are among the thousands of women who joined the Land Girls scheme in 1943. Their story is one of hard work, camaraderie, and resilience as they navigate the challenges of rural life during wartime.

Based on Barbara Whitton's own experiences, Green Hands offers a nuanced portrayal of life as a Land Girl, from the struggles of farm work to the complexities of friendships and romance. This autobiographical novel provides a unique insight into the lives of Britain's women volunteers during World War II.

Originally published in 1943 and repackaged here with a contextual introduction by an Imperial War Museums historian, Green Hands is a thought-provoking and engaging read that sheds light on a pivotal moment in British history.
