The Chocolate Girls (PB)

I thoroughly enjoyed reading about the wartime dramas of Edie, Ruby and Janet. Everyone seemed so real. Details of the time and the effects of war on England were "spot on". Excellent job of keeping the reader interested. Quite the relaxing and entertaining read. Wish it was easier getting hold of copies of her other books which I'd like to try after enjoying this one so much.

Edie, Ruby and Janet all work at the Cadbury factory in Birmingham Engalnd. Right before the war breaks out the girls are each faced with a life changing event. Edie is getting married, Ruby is afraid of getting left behind and Janet finds herself having a baby. But the war does come and Edie finds her taking in a child that is an victim of airraid. The war ends, and the three women find themshelves going in different directions but the boy with no past, will bring changes to all of thier llive. "Chocolate Girls" is the first book by Annie Murray that I have read and while I did find it an okay read, I have to admit that I didn't enjoy the time jumps that the writer used, overall it was an okay war-time read.
