Courage of the Shipyard Girls: Shipyard Girls 6

Courage of the Shipyard Girls is the sixth novel in The Shipyard Girls series. You do need to read the books in this series in order. Otherwise, you will not have the characters backstories. I thought Courage of the Shipyard Girls was well-written with charming characters. I always look forward to each new adventure with the shipyard girls. We have been with the ladies since they first joined the work force at J.L. Thompson & Sons. I have enjoyed watching these ladies grow as individuals and with their friendship over the last six books. Polly, Helen, Rosie and Gloria are the featured characters in Courage of the Shipyard Girls. The other ladies are present, but they are not as prominently featured. Angie and Dorothy provide comic relief as always. The story progresses at a nice steady clip as we delve into the characters lives. You never know what will happen next in these ladies lives especially with Miriam thrown into the mix. I certainly hope she gets her comeuppance. Courage of the Shipyard Girls is an emotional and realistic novel. Nancy Revell has captured what it felt like for these people to be at home, working hard while the men are off fighting. The bombings that took place, working hard to make and repair ships, rationing of food and clothing, blackouts, children sent away from areas that are being bombarded by the Germans are some of the elements featured in the books. I especially like how the ladies are always there for each other. They are going to need each other if they are to have the courage to carry on and survive the war. Admirers of The Shipyard Girls series will enjoy how the story ends (I could not read fast enough) and we get a glimpse of what is to occur in the next book in The Shipyard Girls series.

Another gripping story of the shipyard girls, could't put it down.Heart warming and racing , full of unxpected twists and suspense.Great book for sofa,tea,and choclate.Definatley recommend to all book lovers and friends and Nancy fans alike.
