A Ration Book Daughter follows Cathy Wheeler's story while still catching up with the rest of the Brogan Clan. A more in depth look in to Cathy's home life since marrying and having a baby while navigating life through a war, her Women's Voluntary Service work and living in the same house as her mother in law.
Another outstanding, heart warming story which was an emotional roller coaster from start to finish in this eagerly awaited fifth installment of the Ration Book Series. A series I have loved and I can't wait for the next book. Superbly written with exceptional attention to detail about the Second World War era in the East End of London. Cathy's story was addictive and I couldn't put the book down. Loved the Scottish influence – I hope everyone knows how to pronounce Sauchiehall Street!
The characters all come to life in my mind with the marvellous story telling from Jean Fullerton and gave me an insight in to what life was like for my grandparents living through the war. I have found out that my Gran worked with the Women’s Land Army and my other Gran moved the family to a more rural location due to their home being on a flight path for bombers which now makes Ida’s nightly stays in the Bethnal Green Air Raid Shelter more relatable – a loving mother doing everything in her power to keep her family safe. A wonderful story full of love and hardship that I would highly recommend.
