Description
The Railway Girls is a heartwarming novel about the unbreakable bonds formed between three women working at a railway station during World War II. In February 1922, a memorial was unveiled at Victoria Station in Manchester, honouring the 1,460 men of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway who lost their lives in the Great War. Three years later, a new generation of women is stepping up to support the war effort. Mabel, Joan, and Dot, each with their own reasons for taking on a new role as a railway girl, form an unlikely friendship that will see them through the toughest of times. As they navigate their new lives, they discover that the true meaning of courage, loyalty, and love can be found in the most unexpected places. This moving novel is a testament to the strength and resilience of women during times of war and social change.
