Another heartfelt novel from Diane Allen, Wartime in the Dales is a tale of two young girls doing all they can to get home in 1939 Yorkshire.
September 1939.
Young friends Maggie Shaunessy and Lizzie Taylor are heartbroken to be evacuated from their Liverpool homes to rural Yorkshire.
Lizzie is sent to live with a vicar in the village of Gargrave, while Maggie finds herself delivered by chauffeur to Hawith Hall and Lady and Lord Bradley.
Both the hall and the vicarage are far different to what the girls are used to – and both girls are very homesick. Though, Maggie finds friendship in the form of Alice – a young servant at the hall who takes her under her wing.
But change is coming to the Dales, leaving the girls to harbour desperate plans of running back to Liverpool . . .
From Diane Allen, Wartime in the Dales is a heartfelt, comforting tale of family, evacuation and dreaming of a better life.
