Alice’s girls By JULIA STONEHAM

For three years the land girls at Lower Post Stone Farm have worked together, defying Hitler in their own way. They have witnessed love and loss, found their independence, and made lifetime friends.

Her years as warden of a Land Army hostel have transformed Alice Todd’s life. From damaged, deserted wife, she has emerged self-confident and ambitious. Now, with peacetime approaching, she must consider her future – and decide if it includes Roger Bayliss, the enigmatic farm owner to whom she is increasingly drawn.
