Absolutely loved the Highland Girls at War, great book from start to finish. A miss match of characters that all come together to make a great story, im hoping that this is just the first book in the series because I really want to know how their lives have carried on. Helen Yendall is a new author to me and I’m looking forward to read more. Well deserved 5 ⭐️

Love this book, so entertaining and very well researched.m the characters came to life as the story unrolled and I was sad the book ended as I felt I knew them and they we my friends too. Recommended to read ASAP.

I don’t think I can contain my feelings for this book in words. I adored it!! It may say I’ve given it 5 stars but in my head I’ve given it 100!

From start to finish, I loved it and couldn’t wait to get back to it whenever I had to rip myself away. I loved all the characters (although at times Irene did certainly test me but she more than redeemed herself). Seffy was such a great character, and from riches to rags, she boldly took on the job of a Lumberjill and rose to all the challenges she faced. Irene excelled as ‘Leader girl’ of their cohort and made sure all the girls were kept in line. And lovely Grace (or Amazing Grace I should say!) who was just a lovely sunshiney addition to this fab cast of characters. They were all honestly so strong and well written.

I love reading about the girls in the Timber corp, as we’ve all heard of the land girls and I definitely feel those hard working girls in the forests don’t get as much air time! It’s brilliant to see a light shone on them in fiction.

I definitely rode the waves of feelings in this book and was well and truly ensconced. I feel like an honorary member of the girls in the Macdonald hut and so enjoyed reading their plights, sharing the happy times and their struggles. It had all; camaraderie, friendship, romance and the wartime spirit.

I do really hope this is a series as I NEED (capitals necessary), the next book as it certainly left me wanting more! It was brilliant.

Easy reading with likeable characters once you get to know them. I didn't realise the Canadians came over to work in forestry during the war so found this interesting and it inspired me to look up more about it.

The storyline was in parts predictable. It seems unplanned pregnancy is something that pops up in most historical saga books where romance is a thread!

I had hoped it was the start of a series but aren't so sure now I've finished it as there is no word of more to come.
