Green Hands, Paperback / softback Book

Green Hands Paperback / softback

Part of the Imperial War Museum Wartime Classics series

Paperback / softback

Description

It is 1943, and a month into their service as Land Girls, Bee, Anne and Pauline are dispatched to a remote farm in ruralScotland.

Here they are introduced to the realities of 'lending a hand on the land', as back-breaking work and inhospitable weather mean they struggle to keep their spirits high. Soon one of the girls falters, and Bee and Pauline receive a new posting to a Northumberland dairy farm.

Detailing their friendship, daily struggles and romantic intrigues with a lightness of touch, Barbara Whitton's autobiographical novel paints a sometimes funny, sometimes bleak picture of time spent in the Women's Land Army during the Second World War.
