A Ration Book Daughter tells the story of Cathy, who has just received a telegram announcing that her abusive husband is missing in action. Relieved, Cathy starts counting down the days until six months have passed and she officially becomes a widow and free of her husband. In the meantime, Cathy meets Archie, a sergeant in bomb disposal, who is very friendly towards her and her son. The book tells the story of Cathy's battle with wanting to move on with life yet also still officially being a married woman.
I haven't read any of the previous books in the ration book series, but really enjoyed this. Jean Fullerton details elements of wartime life whilst also incorporating a theme of romance. The book is well written and balances the difficult history with hopeful elements to the story. Having read this I will likely go back to read some of the earlier books!
