3.0 out of 5 stars Nice,easy read., June 19, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Land Girls: A Spirited Novel of Love and Friendship (Paperback)

This is a nice,easy read. Set in England during WW2 it is an engaging tale of three young woman who go to the a farm in the country to help out as part of the war effort. I loved the attention to detail employed by the author to evoke the senses particularly in her descriptions of farm life and nature. Whilst it is not a very deep novel, it is a pleasant and rewarding read.

5.0 out of 5 stars INTERESTING!, June 24, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Land Girls: A Spirited Novel of Love and Friendship (Paperback)

It's a good read. Had never heard of the "land girls before, looked interesting, and it was!. Good characters, reminded me of some of my own girlfriends, the wild one, the shy one, the perfect one. Liked learning more about farm life in England at the time, sort of made me yearn for a good day of hard yet rewarding work. Also loved the older men in the story dealing with their lost youth, their dreams, their crushes on the young girls, it was sweet. And oh, that farm boy, busy lad I must say! All in all a good book, hope it makes a great movie.

4.0 out of 5 stars Land Girls are great!, May 21, 2000

Rebecca Brown "rebeccasreads" (Clallam Bay, WA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Land Girls (Hardcover)

It's 1941 & farmhands are conscripted for the war sofarmers enroll in England's new Land Army, which sends young women outof the cities into the fields. These girls bring to the distant, quiet countryside high adventure, clashes in culture & all their passion for life. During my early years, the couple who eventually adopted me had a Land Girl to help them raise the evacuated children so this novel reminded me of memories I'd tucked carefully away. Angela Huth has recreated a charming & defiant time of life with a special twist.Great reading!...
