The Wartime Singers follows the lives of three women who strive to bring joy to the troops of World War One while battling their own hardships and heartaches. ' I have struggled to find words to describe this book. It was breath-taking' 5* Reader reviewWith war looming, can they lift the spirits of the troops? It' s 1914 and the effects of war are reaching London. Sick and injured servicemen are returning home and Lizzie Kellaway and her godmother Margaret Penrose are determined to do their bit to help them. With Lizzie' s beautiful singing voice and Margaret' s talent for the piano, concerts in hospitals and convalescent homes offer the perfect opportunity to lift the spirits of men who have suffered so much. When Polly Meadows' s fiance rejects her and leaves for the war, she doesn' t hesitate before travelling to London to be with her childhood friend, Lizzie. It isn' t long before she' s persuaded to join their efforts to entertain the troops. At least while performing Polly can forget her troubles and open her soul to the joy of singing. But the ongoing war brings even more heartache. With all three women facing struggles, one thing is certain: these wartime singers will need each other more than ever before. . . A heartwarming and gritty wartime saga, perfect for fans of Nancy Revell, Molly Green and Elaine Everest.
