Nell's War
It's Swansea, 1939, and having said goodbye to three brothers and a boyfriend, nineteen-year-old Nell is faced with an uncertain future on the home-front. From dealing with a wandering grandmother to witnessing the deaths of her friends, she is determined not to let the war beat her down. She joins the ARP and eventually becomes a local heroine, but behind the smiling face hides a private pain she could never speak of. Despite the toils of war, the only thing Nell really lives for are the letters from abroad and the hope of a better tomorrow.

A charming read
While this would not be a genre I'm overly familiar with, I didn't regret picking up this title for a second. Nell is a beautifully written heroine and the setting of World War Two Swansea is ideal for a story crammed with laughter, heartbreak, friendship and romance. I would highly recommend this very talented author to everyone.

I loved reading this book. And I'm not afraid to say that I welled up a few times. I honestly have not read anything by Kelly I didn't love.

A heartwarming story based in my home town of Swansea during the Blitz.
