As World War I begins, life will never be the same again. A heart-breaking saga for all fans of Dilly Court and Val Wood. In the drab Yorkshire town of Garsthwaite, Lacey Barraclough works hard in the textile mill, determined to fight for improvements to the dismal working conditions she and her fellow weavers face. But she hadn\u2019t reckoned on falling in love with the boss\u2019s son, Nathan. Nathan returns her love, but to succeed, they must overcome the class divide, as well as persuade their families that their love for each other is real.<\/p>\n
Before Nathan and Lacey can make a life together, World War I breaks out, and Nathan enlists to fight. When Nathan heads off to the Front, he takes Lacey\u2019s dreams with him, and she must find a new way to face the future. As hard times come to Garsthwaite, will there be a home for the returning heroes to come back to? And for those men who do make it back from France, can they ever outrun the horrors they have witnessed and learn to love again?<\/p>\n
Book Review <\/strong><\/p>\n
The Girl from the Mill by Chrissie Walsh.<\/p>\n
What a page turner. I thoroughly enjoyed reading through the pages of this book. My favorite character, Lacey, was a force to reckon with. I enjoyed reading about her life. <\/p>\n
The author made each character in this book have a unique role, and I am pleased at the interconnectedness between the plot, suspense, and characters. I am on the hunt for more of this author\u2019s book. I even learned a lot from the fictional characters. Indeed, war is dreadful, but how you make up for it is a choice. <\/p>\n
The grammar, writing style, title, and book cover are well illustrated and easy to comprehend. I couldn\u2019t help finishing this book past my bedtime. <\/p>\n
Overall, I am recommending this book to lovers of historical fiction saga. This book is worth 5 stars. I voluntarily reviewed this book. the opinions expressed in this review are mine.<\/p>\n
