Celebrations for the Woolworths girls / Elaine Everest. - London : Macmillan, 2023. - 400 pages ; 24 cm.
It's February 1952 and whilst the nation grieves the death of King George VI, life must go on for the Woolworths Girls. At the Erith Store there is a new temporary manager and Sarah is getting more than a little concerned by problems he seems to be creating. The whole mess is enough to make her want to resign. Meanwhile, Ruby is extremely worried about her friend Vera, and with illness causing a problem from her past to come flooding back, she knows it's going to take a lot of strength and willpower to do what needs to be done. Then there is Freda, looking forwards to the birth of her first child but sick with worry that her Tony won't have returned home in time for the birth of his child, let alone to be back to run the Erith store. As Coronation Day for young Queen Elizabeth II approaches, the girls from Woolworths celebrate friendship, family and overcoming anything that life can throw at them.
