As bombs fall, hopes and dreams are shattered, and the Great Western Railway Girls rely on their friendship like never before.

When Swindon comes under attack in late 1940, the women of the Great Western Railway Works find themselves on the frontline of war, battling for Britain. Working long gruelling shifts, watching for enemy aircraft from the factory roofs, and sleeping in crowded air raid shelters.

These brave young women face fear for their men, danger and exhaustion but they still live life beyond the war – with Lily raising her brother’s child, Maggie navigating a budding romance and Catherine leading the emotional fight by keeping everyone busy, including herself…

Can they stay strong, for each other?

A page-turning story of sisterhood, sacrifice and the extraordinary strength of ordinary women.

Perfect for fans of Nancy Revell and Daisy Styles.
