It's January 1942, and the Bell Works factory is building more Spitfires than ever.

When singers Val and Kay arrive, sisters who bring glamour as well as talent, they are soon entertaining their colleagues after long shifts on the factory floor. But when their callings take them in different directions, is this for good?

Meanwhile, Audrey is delighted to have caught the eye of a new male supervisor, but is he all that he seems?

And can Lily must find solace behind the factory walls when her pilot sweetheart is sent off to action?

It’s never a dull day at the factory. But one thing is for sure – these woman must pull together to keep their spirits up!

Well done Daisy for creating characters that are real women in the best sense. Funny, scheming, loyal and witty, but above all, hardworking and proud. An absolute joy to read

About Daisy Styles

Daisy Styles grew up in Lancashire, surrounded by a family and community of strong women whose tales she loved to listen to. It was from these women, particularly her vibrant mother and Irish grandmother, that Daisy learned the art of storytelling. There was also the landscape of her childhood - wide, sweeping, empty moors and hills that ran as far as the eye could see - which was a perfect backdrop for a saga, a space big enough and wild enough to stage a drama, one about women's lives during the Second World War.
