Alice's Girls by Julia Stoneham
The Second World War is drawing to a close in Europe. For three eventful years, the land girls at Post Stone Farm have worked together, defying Hitler in their own way. They have witnessed love and loss, found their independence, and made lifetime friends. Now, in the final months of conflict, Alice Todd prepares for life at the farm to change forever. Her three years as warden of a Land Army hostel have transformed Alice's life. From damaged, deserted wife, she has emerged self-confident and even ambitious. With peacetime approaching she must prepare to say goodbye to her land girls and decide on a future for her young son and herself. But what of Roger Bayliss, the enigmatic farm-owner to whom she is increasingly drawn? What is this strange cloud which hangs over him and is destroying not only his relationship with his own son but with Alice herself? In this moving finale to the incredibly popular land girls trilogy, Alice and her land girls come to terms with life after the war.
