Story of a Land Girl

I would have bought more of miss Kerrigans books if there had been more depth to the story. It was enjoyable with lots of events but she jumped from one to another event without giving each one enough depth. She also had some phrases which she used far too many times.

I'm very disappointed: I would have been very interested to read about the experiences of the Land Girls. There were some serious problems with this book, however, which completely spoiled it. Firstly the grammar and language. I don't know who edited this book, but they really did not bother. The poor use of grammar seriously affected the readability and therefore my enjoyment of this book. Commas everywhere (except where needed), sentences strung out where several sentences would do, incorrect use of homophones... the list goes on. The language was poorly thought out: some of the phrases spoken by the "locals" were certainly not Herefordshire dialect, and would possibly have been better suited to more easterly counties. Then we come to the romance. I know it's fairly inevitable that this kind of book will have some kind of love interest; however the language used for the lovey parts appeared to fall straight out of a Mills and Boon. This comes to the second problem: mostly this book was not about the experiences of the Land Girls working the land!
This is one book I will not be revisiting.

I enjoyed the story of this book and the era it was set in but was disappointed with the way it was written. It was really disjointed and there was no flow from one scene or character to the next. Overall, an okay book but not one of my favourites.

Excellent read

Excellently written. Really enjoyed every minute of the book. Really bought home the ups and downs of life during WW2.

Good story explained what life was like for land girls in the war.

Told the different worlds all these girls amended from and how they all came to love life in the country.
