Victory for the Foyle's Bookshop Girls




I love reading a book and you are already familiar with the characters.  You don't have to waste time figuring out who's who. That was the case with this new book by Elaine Roberts.

The war is coming close to the end. Men are coming home not the way they left. Some with emotional scars that can't be seen. 

Secrets become known. A family being torn apart in ways you can't even comprehend.

The employees of Foyle's Bookshop are there for each other. They support and care for each other. They become more than co-workers.  This is rare in today's world where staff work from home and don't really know each other.

It's sad that this was the final book about Alice, Victoria and Molly.  I'll miss their determination to carry on no matter what comes their way.

I received this book from Boldwood to review.

Victory for the Foyles Bookshop Girls

London, 1918: the war in Europe may be drawing to an end, but there are new challenges for the Foyles bookshop girls.

As their dreams of the war ending look like they might finally come true, the girls of London’s Foyles bookshop allow themselves to look forward to a brighter future.

But their hopes may be shattered when news of a terrible flu that is gripping the world reaches London, and the girls realise they are not out of danger yet. Meanwhile, they have their own challenges to face when Alice discovers her father has been living a double life; Victoria’s beloved husband Ted struggles to adjust to life after the trenches; and the secret Molly has been keeping finally comes to light.

But, working side-by-side in London’s Foyles bookshop, Alice, Victoria and Molly have become more like sisters than friends. And together, they can brave any storm.

As London faces its toughest year yet, will the Foyles bookshop girls make it through to victory together?
