About the author

Set in a family-owned department store, Jo's novels bring to life the hardships - and highlights - of life in Britain in the Second World War. With husbands, boyfriends and brothers away, the three Shop Girl friends pull together to battle bomb damage and black marketeers as well as their own poignant personal dramas. A former radio and TV scriptwriter, Jo draws on her family's war experiences as well as memories of how shopping used to be - before Amazon changed all that!

Reviews

[Emily · Rating 4 out of 5]

Not as much detail as the series, due to being a smaller book to cover an entire two series but a great accompaniment to the Dangerfield series. I love Dangerfield and the book is a realistic adaption to the TV, I could hear Joanna and Paul's conversations as if they were being acted by Nigel and Amanda themselves. It tells the same story as the series but a different way of taking it in.
