The Gunner Girls: Evie's Story
An absolutely heartbreaking and uplifting wartime story of love, loss and friendship.
1942.
Determined to do her bit for the war effort, Yorkshire lass Evie Sinclair leaves her island home to become an Ack Ack Gunner Girl, defending Britain from Luftwaffe attacks.
On the train steaming towards the Durham training depot, Evie meets lively fellow recruits Lily and Gloria — and the three become firm friends.
As they embark on a gruelling training programme, Evie, Lily and Gloria grab whatever rare opportunity they can to enjoy themselves. At a local dance, Evie meets handsome young RAF pilot, Matt, and the pair begin a passionate romance.
When Matt proposes, Evie’s happiness should be complete, but she’s reluctant to give up her new-found freedom, and agrees to marry only when the war is over.
Then tragedy strikes. Forced to leave the services, Evie returns home — only to be shunned by her disapproving mother. Alone and pregnant, Evie is determined to keep her baby.
But life will be tough for a penniless unmarried mother at a time when women are judged harshly and the men are away at war. It’s a long way from Evie’s carefree days as a Gunner Girl. Will she ever be reunited with Lily and Gloria?

This is the story of young Evie Sinclair, who wanted to do her bit for the war effort, she has just turned eighteen and leaves her Island home in Yorkshire to joins the ACK, ACK gunner girls, she meets up with two more young woman Lily and Gloria on the train and a friendship is formed.
The girls are thoroughly enjoying their the work they are doing although dangerous most times they all work hard and at local dance Evie meets RAF pilot Matt Goodwin, they soon are as close as can be, and on a visit home at Christmas Matt proposes, Evie says yes but after the war, they continue to meet as often as possible and the passion grows.
When Evie loses Matt and then finds herself pregnant and her mother sends her away, Evie is determined to keep her baby, but in these times that is not an easy task and Evie works hard to do so and then over time is more determined than ever to help other single un-wed mothers.
Will Evie succeed in her quest and will she find love and happiness after all she has been through and what of Lily and Gloria?
This is a lovely story, a little slow at times but it brings to life what is was like for unmarried mothers during the war years and is one that I would recommend to any reader who enjoys war time stories.
My thanks to the publisher Joffe Books and Netgalley for my digital copy to read and review

A fairly enjoyable read but badly in need of attention to detail.
Evie Sinclair is excited about joining up to do her bit during the war; her mother, however, is full of disapproval. She wants Evie to stay home and do her bidding but her daughter has other intentions. And so she sets off to initial training, meeting two fellow recruits on the journey, and eventually finds herself an ack-ack girl.
I do love a good wartime tale but I'm not sure that the title really reflects the story in this case. Being a gunner girl is only a small part of this tale; it's much more about changing things. There were a few details which irritated - for instance, handing out a ten-shilling note which was a small fortune then. Overall, it's a decent tale but it does need a bit of attention to detail to make it an authentic wartime read. I don't think it's a series I'll continue with. For me, 3.5*.

What a welcome start to a new series from this author.
Ack-Ack the gunner girls book one.
And we start with Evie Sinclair's story that is so emotional and gripping.
1942 and Evie is excited to be heading away from home to Durham on the train meeting up with Lily Grainger and Gloria Russell and they all have a hard programme ahead of them.
Meeting RAF pilot Matt Goodwin Evie is swept off her feet not knowing her future will leave her a penniless unmarried mother.
The book takes up to 1947 after the war ends and what a roller coaster ride and struggle Evie has had.
I loved reading this book and now eagerly await book two.

This is not my usual genre of reading, which is normally crime and murder.
I have to say that I started reading this book, and from the very start, I was lost in a most wonderful book and emerged at the end feeling I must read more of this author.
I went through every emotion while reading and even found myself in tears at one point.
This story is so well and wonderfully written and pulls at your heartstrings and emotions.
I knew women played many parts in the war, but I had no idea about this one. The importance was interestingly weaved into the storyline.
A lovely must-read book.
My thanks to Joffe books for the advanced copy. This is my honest and unbiased review.

This is a gripping story of a young woman’s journey from the restrictive comfort of a middle class home into a demanding wartime role and on to the cruelty of a peace which demonises unmarried mothers.
Readers truly experience the emotional turmoil of Evie. Distraught after losing her RAF fiancé on a sortie over Europe, and realising she’s pregnant, Evie is abandoned by her horrified parents with whom she anticipated sanctuary. Instead, she is cast into a home for unwed mothers run with the constraints of a prison and a resolve to have each child adopted. Evie is determined to have none of it, and so starts her long haul into true adulthood, cementing her conviction to right a moral wrong.
The first part of the novel, despite the wartime pressures, is full of the camaraderie of the moment. Evie makes lasting friendships with Gloria and Lily, which highlights the perceived coldness from her mother. Her growing relationship with Matt, desperate for a settled home life as an anchor against the death and destruction all around him, is spot on.
Demobbed and pregnant is where Evie comes into her own, using the precision-thinking and problem-solving skills instilled during her service in the Ack-Ack gun battery. Almost unintentionally, she sees people not for how they initially present themselves, but for the hurt they are hiding, and what they might achieve shown a little kindness.
And these people are very real on the page. Bencher, the dishevelled pawnshop owner who first offers Evie sanctuary, is hiding much in self-protection, as is the formidable Mrs Potter with her brood. When Evie finally faces her parents with their grandson, she realises there’s much been hidden there, too.
This is a feel-good novel to devour. It highlights society’s injustices and hypocrisies, and a rising self-awareness of what a single person can achieve with the support of true friends. It augurs well for the two novels to follow in this short series. Highly recommended.

Quality storytelling
I was sent an Advanced Reader Copy of The Gunner Girls and this is my honest review.
The talented Ms Broady has the unique ability to not only write a brilliant story, but to give the reader a lesson in history also. The extensive research that the author must have done to support the novel, was evident on every page. And the fact that part of the narrative takes place in an area adjacent to my home town, certainly held my interest. Each character appealed to me – I cared about them and felt the joys and the pain. I was willing the central figure on as she had to overcome such adversity and actually shed a tear for her dilemma. It’s not an overstatement to say the book enveloped me, like a warm blanket, and made me feel almost part of the story. I was actually bereft after finishing it, thank goodness there’s going to be more! It truly is a story of drama, tragedy, adversity, warmth and quality – definitely one that shouldn’t be missed. I completely devoured it.

Thank you for the chance to read this ARC in return for my honest opinion
This book was very definitely a book of two halves - and in that way was a disappointment for me.
I would have loved more than 47% given to the Ack- Ack girls - I would have liked to have known more about their work, training and life in the Army - but having said that I did enjoy it.
The second half centred on the main character - Evie - and her life after the War and her loss and tragedy. In some ways it was predictable but then again it was heartwarming in her decisions and how she saw the way her life would move forward.
It was well written and well researched - but for me, I felt slightly cheated and that the title of the book was a slight misnomer.
That won't stop me reading more in the series if they appear.
A great read for those that like WW2 historical fiction

The Gunner Girls - Evie’s story is my first book by Sylvia Broady and what a book to start with. Although it did fall flat in parts, I found it had me captivated, I wanted/needed to know how this young naïve woman was going to find the courage to take on the world when it looked down on unmarried women so much. Evie’s growth was a heartwarming story her courage, determination, devotedness, friendship, love and loss made it unputdownable. I’m looking forward to reading the next book in this series.

The premise of the story caught my attention because I've been a fan of books with similar situations. Unfortunately, it fell flat for me.
I found the writing in the book to be very simplistic with a lot of telling and barely any showing. Evie jumped from one scene/situation to another with every new paragraph, making it that it was hard to get a connection with/care about the characters. We barely see any of her relationship with Matt and I just wasn't invested.
I found the dialogue to be very unnatural and it seemed to act as a way to just give information about the characters or the history.
The pregnancy timeline didn't add up with the time she was with the father to when the baby was born. Also, I very much doubt she'd be able to hide it for as long as she did. Evie is described as seven and a half stone - 105lbs. Yet she was able to hide her pregnancy from the army until her eighth/ninth month.

A beautiful historical novel that's realistically heartbreaking and uplifting at the same time. The first part of the book focuses on women in the UK during WWII and the rest of the novel is an excellent portrayal of life of single mothers and their babies during the 1940s. The beginning is a slower pace, but the story quickly picks up when Evie, the MC, realizes she is pregnant. A lighthearted ode to enduring and struggling unwed mothers and the happily ever after that all deserve. Thoughtful historical women's fiction.

Evie's journey, from her country loving beginning to the challenges she faced as a single mother were written realistically.
I loved Evie's determination and resilience throughout the book and I admired her a lot.
I loved reading her character development as the story went on.
The story was very emotional in parts making me feel awful for Evie.
Not only was this a love story, but it was written of a tale of female empowerment and independence.
I'll be for sure looking out for more of Sylvias books.

This story is about Evie who leaves home to become a gunner girl during WWII. Along the way she connects with 2 other women on a train on the way to their training. She meets a pilot and falls in love. When tragedy strikes Evie is alone and pregnant, shunned by her family. The story follows her journey trying to survive with her baby. There were some good characters in this story and I enjoyed reading it. If you like historical fiction I recommend this book. Thank you to net galley for an advanced readers copy.

The challenges for unwell mothers
I have mixed feelings about this book. The first part of the book seemed a little lacking in depth. The author whipped though the ATS training with much less detail than I have read in other similar style books. When Evie "fell in Love", it was hard to believe as she and Matthew spent so little time together that they barely knew each other. As the book moved on to Evie's experiences as an unwed mother, the story gained depth and became more intense. Overall I would give it 3.5 stars.

A wonderful story of love and loss and also about the Ack-Ack Gunner girls.
Evie wants more than staying with her parents and wants to help in the war effort so she joins up to become a Ack-Ack Gunner. She meets Lilly & Gloria on the train to the training camp and they become friends. Evie meets Matt and they fall in love.
I enjoyed the book and was well written I liked the characters and they were strong woman.
Would recommend the book.

There were some really good parts to this book. I enjoyed how Evie started in the war and her role as an Ack-Ack girl. I thought it was a nice twist to many wartime books that have women in a more supportive role. I also liked the second half of the book focused on how Evie grew as a person and all the things she accomplished. I actually felt that both the first / second half could have been it's own story. So unfortunately, a little disjointed for me. But I did enjoy the writing and how perseverance takes place in difficult times.
May 24, 2024
I really enjoyed this story. The characters ae well-formed and there is plenty of tension and pace. The setting is convincing.
But oh dear. Some of the writing is disappointing. Too many sentences start with a present participle and even worse, have ‘on’ in front of them. Did someone really eat lemonade? Some descriptions are too long. Quite a few paragraph breaks are missing.
Surely the author should have picked some of this up herself and most certainly the in-house editor ought to have challenged these faux-pas.
Nevertheless I’ll still read more by this author.

The story follows Evie as she leaves home to become an ack ack gunner, finding friendship and love along the way.
Her life is turned upside down when her love is killed and she finds herself pregnant. Her mother turns her away and she has no alternative to go to the Mother and Baby home.
A heartwarming story and a joy to read.

Not a bad story but predictable. I found the writing a little tedious in places and at times it was just a list of actions. It lacked atmosphere and some of the description were repetative. I was quite pleased when I finished it as I don' t like an unfinished story.

I enjoyed reading this book in one evening. I liked the way the plot moved on clearly and quickly, and that there were not too many names of characters to confuse me. A salient reminder of how different life was 80 years ago. Thank you Sylvia Broady for taking me out of myself to another time and place

A good read
I enjoyed this evocative story, about how young women were able to help defend their country in WW2. The war, and the aftermath, were difficult times and a lot of sacrifices were made, by both men and women. Well crafted characters made an interesting and inspiring story.

The heartwarming story of a young woman who gets pregnant while serving her country and struggles to keep her son while facing the prejudice against unwed mothers. This book is less about Evie’s time with the ATS as a gunner girl, than her life after the war.

I very much enjoyed reading this one I was sorry to have finished it. Evie went through a series of emotions especially with her small minded mother and losing Matt didn't help either. But still she came through with determination and grit an got what she wanted. Highly recommended

In the first Gunner Girls book, readers follow Evie, who left Yorkshire to become an Ack Ack Gunner Girl, on her service tour during World War II. Readers meet Gloria and Lily in the Ack Ack program, and she also meets RAF pilot Matt and falls in love. Engagement, however, comes with consequences, and Evie finds herself pregnant and unmarried, creating a whole new set of issues with her commanding officer and her parents. Evie, lacking a support system and an income, must find her way through life with her child during the war and after. Broady brings some complex historical issues to life in this book, such as the situation of unwed mothers in the mid-twentieth century and particularly in wartime, while also shedding light on ways that single mothers made their way in the world during the war and in the postwar period. Broady’s characters are complex and unique, and the female friendships in this novel are really something to enjoy, as they stand by each other as the world changes around them. Broady’s novel is fascinating, enjoyable, and mostly lighthearted, and her characters, the heart of the story, go on some challenging and rewarding journeys in this charming historical fiction novel.
