I was given this book to review and although it is out of my comfort zone when it comes to books I really enjoyed it and found myself hoping there will be a sequel and I am embarking on reading the 4 previous books.
Elaine Everest is not an author I am familiar with so I googled her facebook page https://www.facebook.com/ElaineEverestAuthor/ and found she has a small following and has written widely for women's magazines, she is also a creative writing tutor .
This book A Gift From Woolworths is her fifth book in her Woolworths series and is a follow on in her series about a friendship in second World War times between Sarah, Maisie and Freda while working at Woolworths.
Although this is book 5 in the series you are given short back stories to each character so you know who is who. In this book the war is drawing to a close and you can feel the relief and optimism through the characters and the thrill of new beginnings despite rations still being in place and life still quite less than rosy. The book is heart warming set between births deaths and marriages, friendships and betrayals and as an added extra I learned there was a Woolworths museum.
The book gets a thumbs up from me and I am looking forwards to catching up with the rets of the books in the series.
NB* This review is written as part of the Blog Tour and all opinions are my own and I have received no remuneration for this review apart from a paperback copy of the book.
