A charming and nostalgic read, perfect for fans of Coronation Street and readers who love stories set in wartime.

They are digging for victory on the nation’s favourite street.



Vera Sharples longs for independence from her interfering mother, Coronation Street’s tyrant in a hairnet, Ena Sharples.
Vera’s friend, Lily Longhurst, has found herself on the wrong side of a doomed romance and decides it’s high time she and Vera took their lives into their own hands.


The girls sign up for the Land Army and are sent to Kent, where life is very different from the familiar cobbles they know so well. Expected to work from daybreak until sunset, the routine and the constant air raids come as a shock.


Even as the girls comes to grips with the country at war, back home Ena can’t stop meddling. Will the two plucky Lancashire lasses come home to Coronation Street with their dreams intact, or is Ena about to shatter them forever…?
