MY REVIEW
I’m totally addicted to all the Woolworths series written by Elaine Everest, and all the other books, the reason all Elaine’s novels strike a special bond in my heart, is because al the stories are based in kent, like Ramsgate where this story is set isn’t far from where I live.
In this new novel The Teashop Girls at War, I absolutely loved reading about my favourite characters, happily married Rose, running her teashop during the war, and with Flora owning her own Sea View Guest House. All the ladies in this page-turning novel have problems of their own that made me connect with each of the women. I’m so addicted to these novels, I can’t wait for the next book to to come out. Any of Elaine’s books will make the perfect present for any woman in your family or for a good friend. I highly recommend the whole series of novels by Elaine Everest.
