MY JOURNEY TO PAY MY RESPECTS

When I wrote The Woolworths Girls I wanted one of my main characters, Betty Billington, to have ‘a past’. For most women her age in 1938 they had lost the chance to marry and have a family due to the great loss of men during World War One. In my mind it was the perfect chance to use the memory of my great uncle Charles Sears of A Coy. 12th Btn. Rifle Brigade who perished at Ypres 17th August

Quotes by Elaine Everest (?)

“army”
― Elaine Everest, Christmas at Woolworths

0 likes

“Sarah thought the choir were very brave to stand outside singing on such a chilly day. The sky was threatening snow too. If it hadn’t been for an interview for a sales assistant position at Woolworths, she’d have stayed home with Nan. A weather-worn man, a row of medals across the chest of his overcoat, patted her arm. He was the one who’d held the collection tin in front of her as she stopped amid the bustle of Christmas shoppers”
