The Three Sisters of Victory Walk

The District Nurse #6

by Annie Groves

Rose, Clover and Daisy are the pretty blond sisters of the Harrison family, living with their parents and two brothers, and working in East London and the outbreak of WWII. Rose the eldest is a nurse working in Homerton Hospital, she despairs of her younger siblings and their occasional less sensible attitudes to life. Clover is the handful of the family and whenever there’s trouble she isn’t far away. At the first chance she gets, she volunteers for the Auxiliary Service, but things go far from smoothly. Daisy is the baby of the family, but she doesn’t want to be treated like a child anymore and is determined to grow up, whether her family like it or not. When she gets a chance to sign up to do her bit, she seizes her chance. As rationing, blackouts and bombs start to bite, life will change forever for the three sisters.

Penelope "Penny" Jones was born on November 24, 1946 in a Preston, Lancashire, England.
She had been a keen reader from the childhood. She was a storyteller long before she began to write romantic fiction.

She published four regency novels as Caroline Courtney, before changing her name to Melinda Wright and then she wrote two thrillers as Lydia Hitchcock. Soon after that, Mills and Boon accepted her first novel for them, Falcon's Prey as Penny Jordan. However, for her present historical romance novels, she has adopted her mother's maiden-name to become Annie Groves. Almost 70m of her 167 Mills and Boon novels have been sold worldwide.
Now Penny Halsall lived in a house in Nantwich, Cheshire. She worked from home.

Penny died on 31 December 2011.

This book is not a part of The District Nurses. In my opinion, this is not the best book by Annie Groves but I still loved it. Characters are interesting and finally Dunkirk was more or less described in the book.

There's a pet rabbit in this book!! Ahhhh!! Take all the stars for that alone. I look forward to seeing more of you Snuffles and I guess your human family too. In the start of a new series we follow the Harrison sisters, Rose, Clover and Daisy. In some ways it reminded me of the Campion series but the more wealthy snobbish family doesn't play a major part yet, possibly in the next book. The girl's names in that family are Faith Hope and Joy. I love a family that sticks to a theme. Rose is a nurse. Clover and Daisy work at a factory. When war breaks out Clover joins the ATS (it would be kind of cool if she meets and works with the then Princess Elizabeth especially to honour her life of service which truly began when she turned 18. Daisy liess about her age, studies up and gets a job as a clerk in public transport. All three girls mostly thrive at their new roles although Clover takes some time to grow into her role especially the marching part which I get. I'd probably be just like her. The book begins just before the war starts and ends as the Blitz is underway. There is the usual fare. Some romance, a few dastardly men, unwanted pregnancies, friendships are formed and most importantly there's a freaking pet rabbit who's loved and brought into bomb shelters during raids and for once the family pet isn't a cat or dog. Rabbit lovers rejoice! We've finally got representation! Still I do look forward to seeing where the story goes and of course Sniffles had better make it safe and sound to the end of the series.

This was haed to get into at first, and thats purely because it is listed as book 6 in the victory walk series which I have really enjoyed reading BUT this story has no connection to the others or even any of the characters and goes right back to the beginning of the war as a standalone story

Once I got over that disappointment and got into the story I was gripped and struggled to put it down, and I want more I really hope there will be more to come so I can see where the girls stories go

Excellent book a real nostalgic read

The storylines were enjoyable. The characters well described. You could picture some of the characteristics of the prominent characters. Some got their comeuppance others had a happy ending

This felt like a really warm hug! I felt as if I was part of the family's life and I cannot wait to see what will happen next in their lives.
