The Factory Girls of Lark Lane by Pam Howes
4.0
*** I received an advanced e-copy from Net Galley in exchange for my honest review
This book tells the story of best friends Alice Turner and Millie Markham, who work together at the munitions factory. You can follow along their day-to-day lives and share in their happiness, their sorrows, and their fears that their loved ones might not return from the war. At times the book seemed to plod along, but it was very interesting seeing what the average life was for women back then. I was disappointed in the ending. I felt that it ended too abruptly and I was wanting it to continue on after the men returned home and the adjustments that would occur, but that is left to your imagination. All in all, it is a very good book and one that is definitely worth reading.
