A Woman's War
A Woman's War | S. Block
3 posts | 1 read | 1 to read
In Britain's darkest hour, an extraordinary community of women strives to protect the Home Front. The women of Great Paxford's Women's Institute have overcome every challenge they've faced, but as the war rages the threat comes closer and closer to home. But for Steph Farrow it's not the threat of what's to come that she fears, it's whether she can live with what she has done that haunts her. . .

Good. Love reconnecting with these characters and their stories. Even though at one point there was a slight historical error I enjoyed the festive story and how the community all worked together in tough times. Look forward to the next book in the series.

The bottom pic is from the first chapter stating the year it is set in and the top photo is one of the starting paragraph of Chap 29. I have just come across and tell me if I am reading this wrong but it seems to me that it reads as if it is set in 1939.

Need help from my #HistoricalFictionInaccuracyAnnoyanceSupportgroup

julesG I think I need to fact check this. 4y
julesG I was about to write that this part is correct, but then checked on the date for Chamberlain's speech. That was on 30th September 1938. So you are right, the time line doesn't add up 4y
Birdsong28 No the whole book is between November to December of 1940. I just wondered as Chamberlain was out in May 1940 and they would have had Christmas 1939 as their first Christmas as it started in the September so this is their second Christmas during the war. @julesG 4y

Birdsong28 Thought it didn't seem right @julesG glad I can have your help. 😘 4y
GingerAntics That‘s frustrating. WORK WITH A TIMELINE PEOPLE!!! 🤦🏼‍♀️ 4y
Birdsong28 @GingerAntics Glad to know that you agree with me and that I am not going mad! 📚 📖 4y
GingerAntics @Birdsong28 I‘m all about the timeline. I actually have a “weird”/“revolutionary” way I like to teach history. It centres around a timeline. I really wish more people would use bloody timelines. I have timelines for every book I‘ve ever written, and I‘ve never written historical fiction. These people drive me nuts. 4y

laurieluna Thank you for tagging me! Bought. That's my christmas read sorted! 🤗 5y
Birdsong28 @laurenbescoby It's ok, I always think of you when I see the books 😘 I think I will be reading this but as a paperback as my mum wants to read the books as she also enjoyed the T.V series. Its only just gone to 99p as it was £3.99 yesterday so I thought I'd flag it up as I don't know how long it will be on for! 📚 📖 5y
