Thank you Fenella J。 Miller for teaching me things that American history books never mentioned。 Thank you for not glossing over the past。 Thank you for bringing understanding to the struggles of those that stood up for freedom。 The author has a talent for telling history through the characters of Goodwill House that made me want to know more。 Joanna Harcourt， owner of Goodwill House， has had WAAFs living in her home while they waited for their hut to be constructed。 The author uses this situatio Thank you Fenella J。 Miller for teaching me things that American history books never mentioned。 Thank you for not glossing over the past。 Thank you for bringing understanding to the struggles of those that stood up for freedom。 The author has a talent for telling history through the characters of Goodwill House that made me want to know more。 Joanna Harcourt， owner of Goodwill House， has had WAAFs living in her home while they waited for their hut to be constructed。 The author uses this situation to bring in different personalities， jobs， backgrounds and how the characters dealt with everything。 I learned of the struggles of rationing， the creativity used to survive， the crossing social economic classes。 The WAAFs interact with servicemen and pilots bringing friendship， romance and loss to the story。 I enjoyed following Millie's story。 She comes to Goodwill House as a driver for the Motor Pool。 She is someone that others look up to and respect。 The openness within the group gives great insight into WW2 England near an airbase。 She falls for a pilot that brings sweet， swoony moments to the story。 I confess I became very invested in the characters。 I enjoyed reading of their successes。 I was thrilled to gain more understanding into what my family went through。 I can't wait for the next book so I can experience more of the lives of those during WW2。 。。。more

New Recruits At Goodwill House by Fenella J Miller is a marvellous historical novel and the second book in the Goodwill House series。 It can be read as a stand-alone。 I， however， loved meeting up with familiar faces。The action is set during 1940 and covers familiar events such as the evacuation of Dunkirk。 The reader witnesses the willingness of all to drop whatever they are doing and welcome the returning men with food， drink， blankets and a warm smile。World War II gives women the opportunity t New Recruits At Goodwill House by Fenella J Miller is a marvellous historical novel and the second book in the Goodwill House series。 It can be read as a stand-alone。 I， however， loved meeting up with familiar faces。The action is set during 1940 and covers familiar events such as the evacuation of Dunkirk。 The reader witnesses the willingness of all to drop whatever they are doing and welcome the returning men with food， drink， blankets and a warm smile。World War II gives women the opportunity to show just what they are capable of。 Traditional roles are abandoned as women step up into the previously occupied men’s shoes。 The women are resilient， proving they are more than just trinkets。Goodwill House comes alive as young women are billeted there。 A previously lifeless house is rejuvenated， along with the occupants。War gives people the opportunity to step up and behave honourably。 Unfortunately given free choice， sometimes some choose a dishonourable path。 There will always be consequences to poor choices。An estranged relationship finds connection and new life。 Previously thought to have little in common， it is surprising how similar they are。New Recruits At Goodwill House is a very engaging read。 Fenella J Miller writes with warmth and humour， showing that even in the darkest of times， a sense of humour can spread light in the dark。 I laughed out loud at the beginning with the new recruits ingenious way to scale a wall！This was a smashing read。 I am looking forward to the subsequent books in the series。I received a free copy from Rachel’s Random Resources via Net Galley。 A favourable review was not required。 All opinions are my own。 。。。more

New Recruits at Goodwill House by Fenella J Miller us a great WWII-era historical fiction saga that is the followup to The War Girls of Goodwill House。 I really enjoyed this。I really liked the author’s previous book， and this one starts off after the previous one。 We continue to have the overarching theme and storyline of Goodwill House and Lady Joanna and her progression as a character and woman of the house。 Millie and Diane are new characters and new recruits that add a nice new storyline to New Recruits at Goodwill House by Fenella J Miller us a great WWII-era historical fiction saga that is the followup to The War Girls of Goodwill House。 I really enjoyed this。I really liked the author’s previous book， and this one starts off after the previous one。 We continue to have the overarching theme and storyline of Goodwill House and Lady Joanna and her progression as a character and woman of the house。 Millie and Diane are new characters and new recruits that add a nice new storyline to the series。 As always， I enjoyed the historical elements， the portrayals of how the larger homes and estates survived， contributed， and changed during the war。 It was interesting to see more of the “nuts and bolts” of how life shifted during the 1940s。 Thank you NG and Boldwood Books for this wonderful arc and in return I am submitting my unbiased and voluntary review and opinion。I am posting this review to my GR and Bookbub accounts immediately and will post it to my Amazon， Instagram， and B&N accounts upon publication on 4/7/22。From the Publisher: Pre-order Link: https://amzn。to/3oC6BmhMay 1940There are new residents at Goodwill House – WAAF drivers Camilla ‘Millie’ Cunningham and Diane Forsyth， both eager to do their bit for the war effort and excited to be helping the brave boys who fly。And when Millie meets dashing and heroic Spitfire pilot Ted Thorrington， they strike up an instant connection。 But with Hitler gaining more ground in Europe， there is danger brewing across the Channel in Dunkirk and Ted is required to fly more and more dangerous sorties， risking his life every time。With their hearts and lives on the line， the courage of the girls in blue will be tested like never before… 。。。more
