I have been addicted to Elaine Everest Woolworths Girls since I read A Gift from Woolworths that I read in 2018。I love how Elaine Everest creates lively characters that seem so real life, and live in real places, like Margate, that’s not far from where I live in Kent。I particularly like how the author Elaine Everest bases her novels in north west Kent, where she was brought up and sets these beautiful novels within landmarks like Margate and Erith that I know of well, and her readers may well know these areas too。 For me personally this is one the reason I connect well to every novel by Elaine as I can picture the areas of the Kent based scenes。The Woolworths Saturday Girls is set in 1950。 。。。more
Nicola Clough,
I’ve always loved this author and she certainly didn’t disappoint at all in this new book in this series。 You get hooked straight away and such a warm read with great characters and shows plenty about friendship and romance with heartbreak along the way as well。 The characters are great and lovely to meet new characters along the way。 The war is over and the Woolworths girls Sarah Maisie age Freda now have high expectations for their children and want them to do the best they can。 They get them I’ve always loved this author and she certainly didn’t disappoint at all in this new book in this series。 You get hooked straight away and such a warm read with great characters and shows plenty about friendship and romance with heartbreak along the way as well。 The characters are great and lovely to meet new characters along the way。 The war is over and the Woolworths girls Sarah Maisie age Freda now have high expectations for their children and want them to do the best they can。 They get them working at Woolworths on a Saturday and Bessie, Claudette, clementine and Dorothy are all set with different challenges。 But what shows through the most is the strong friendship they all have to support each other。 Bessie gets involved with a young lad who is on the wrong side of the law she won’t tell her parents as she knows what they will think but she suddenly finds herself pregnant and she’s away for a break when she realises fully what her boyfriend is like and she comes away realising she has to leave him but she can’t tell her parents she’s pregnant but she pulls to her Saturday girls for support and they find her somewhere to go to have the baby but of course her parents are worried as don’t no why she has gone。 She finally had the baby but yet again needs to move on quickly so the girls help her but will she be found and will the girls be happy and have high hopes for the future。 A wonderful read。 。。。more
Vivien Brown,
I do love finding a series to hook me in, where I can look forward to the next book and to meeting up again with the characters I have got to know so well。 The Woolworths girls already feel like old friends, and readers have been following them now from the day they met in 1938 right through the war, with all the ups and downs, loves and losses in their lives, and the town and store they love acting as the framework that holds them together。 Now we are in 1950 and Sarah, Freda, Maisie and their I do love finding a series to hook me in, where I can look forward to the next book and to meeting up again with the characters I have got to know so well。 The Woolworths girls already feel like old friends, and readers have been following them now from the day they met in 1938 right through the war, with all the ups and downs, loves and losses in their lives, and the town and store they love acting as the framework that holds them together。 Now we are in 1950 and Sarah, Freda, Maisie and their boss Betty, along with wise old matriarch Ruby, all still feature in this new book, although it is the next generation of teenagers that take centre stage。 How lovely to also find characters and settings popping up from Elaine's other books, The Butlins Girls and The Teashop Girls。 They all slip so easily from one story to another! With Maisie's new business dominating her time and concentration, she fails to notice what is happening in her adopted daughter Bessie's life, with terrible consequences。 But the young Saturday Girls are all there to support Bessie。 Love, family and friendship are at the heart of life in Erith, just as they always were, and readers will be pleased to get the warm and happy ending they expect and deserve。 I really enjoyed it and read the whole book in less than 2 days。 。。。more
