I can remember my nan talking about the Land Army and the WAAFs when I was a child, and I thought of her (god bless her soul) as I was reading The Land Girls.

I am on a real historical kick at the moment, and I have been reading a lot of stories set in WW2 to get my fix.

The Land Girls, based on the the Australian Women's Land Army is a beautiful, but at times heartbreaking story of the women who went and worked the land while the men were away during WW2.

It is a beautiful story of strength, of friendship, of the family we make, who are not our blood family.

I may have shed a tear or two as our lovely ladies, from all walks of life, forge such special relationships.

I did the tree change myself from the city to the country a while ago now, so I could feel some of their struggles (though I never had it as bad as these girls did!) especially with isolation.

Once I got into this story, I did not want to put it down. Heartfelt, heartbreaking, but also full of hope and wonder, I felt this story with my whole body.

This was my first Victoria Purman story, but it won't be my last.
