1942, Somerset: the war rages on, but the Cider Girls are ready for the fight of their lives.
With the threat of a German invasion hanging heavy over Somerset, friends Rose, Daisy and Elsie, known as the Cider Girls, are doing everything they can to prepare.
For newly-wed Land Girl Rose, balancing demanding farm work with clandestine combat training is hard enough. But when life takes an unexpected turn, her fierce determination to fight for her country threatens to clash with her husband's overprotective nature.
District nurse Daisy is hiding her own dangerous secrets. Desperately concealing her classified missions from the man she has always loved, her emotions are further confused by the arrival of a handsome Italian prisoner of war. Meanwhile, ATS clerk Elsie's quiet life is disrupted when wounded soldier Tim returns from the front, and they're forced to share a cottage.
With enemy spies infiltrating the county, the stakes have never been higher. Will the Cider Girls' unbreakable bond and undercover training be enough to protect their loved ones before time runs out?
Readers love May Ellis:
'If you like Annie Murray and Margaret Dickinson you will love this.'
'A brilliant read. I was captivated by each character. I felt that I was with them throughout their journey. I have immediately pre-ordered the next in the series. I can't wait to get started and continue on their ups and downs of living through dreadful times.'
'May Ellis brings 1940s Britain to life with warmth and authenticity, capturing the friendship and courage of the women during the war... A truly uplifting story about love, friendship, and resilience - I loved every page and can't wait for the next in the series.'
