A brand new heartwarming and nostalgic novel from Daisy Styles about love and friendship

January 1942. With female conscription now in place, the spitfire production line at the Bell Works Factory is busier than ever. When sisters Val and Kay arrive, singers who bring glamour as well as talent, they are soon entertaining their co-workers after long shifts on the factory floor. Audrey is delighted to have caught the eye of a new male supervisor. But is he all that he seems? With romance, heartbreak, painful goodbyes as well as joyful reconciliations all around, one thing is for sure - the women pull together to keep the spirits up of one and all and do their bit for the war.

Daisy Styles grew up in Lancashire, surrounded by a family and community of strong women whose tales she loved to listen to. It was from these women, particularly her vibrant mother and Irish grandmother, that Daisy learned the art of storytelling. There was also the landscape of her childhood - wide, sweeping, empty moors and hills that ran as far as the eye could see - which was a perfect backdrop for a saga, a space big enough and wild enough to stage a drama, one about women's lives during the Second World War.

Reviews for The Factory Girls

Well done Daisy for creating characters that are real women in the best sense. Funny, scheming, loyal and witty, but above all, hardworking and proud. An absolute joy to read * Kate Thompson, bestselling author of, Secrets of the Home Front Girls * A cracking story with truly endearing characters * Annie Murray, bestselling author of, Now The War Is Over * This is her best yet. I devoured it in one sitting - it's a real page turner that will delight and tug at the heart strings of readers everywhere. Wonderful! * Fiona Ford, author of, The Liberty Girls * The Engine Girls is a gripping wartime saga packed with heartwarming sparky characters who keep you riveted from the first page * Ellee Seymour, author of the Royal Station Master’s Daughters Series *
