The Land Girls by Victoria Purman Book Summary

A moving story of love, loss and survival against the odds by bestselling author of The Last of the Bonegilla Girls, Victoria Purman.

It was never just a man's war...

Melbourne,1942

War has engulfed Europe and now the Pacific, and Australia is fighting for its future. For spinster Flora Atkins, however, nothing much has changed. Tending her dull office job and beloved brother and father, as well as knitting socks for the troops, leaves her relatively content. Then one day a stranger gives her brother a white feather and Flora's anger propels her out of her safe life and into the vineyards of the idyllic Mildura countryside, a member of the Australian Women's Land Army.

There she meets Betty, a 17-year-old former shopgirl keen to do her bit for the war effort and support her beloved, and the unlikely Lilian, a well-to-do Adelaide girl fleeing her overbearing family and theworld's expectations for her. As the Land Girls embrace their new world of close-knit community and backbreaking work, they begin to find pride in their roles. More than that, they start to find a kind of liberation. For Flora, new friendships and the singular joy derived from working the land offer new meaning to her life, and even the possibility of love.

But as the clouds of war darken the horizon, and their fears for loved ones - brothers, husbands, lovers - fighting at the front grow, the Land Girls' hold on their world and their new-found freedoms is fragile. Even if they make it through unscathed, they will not come through unchanged...

The land girls. Quite good an easy read Well written with some solid characters to root for

Aussie tenacity at its best displayed in the pages of this book.. I enjoyed the history of our young nation played out beautifully in this story. I had no idea of the land army and I enjoyed reading about these girls and the sacrifices and hardships endured to keep our country going through the toughest of times.

Our girls at home. Interesting letters from our land girls at home to there loved ones on the front. Nice to see that the remaining girls finally received recognition all those decades late for there services

The Land Girls. Loved this book! So well researched and written, based on the facts of what the women of Australia went through to help keep the country running. Happy and sad with wonderful and very real characters.

Great book. Victoria thank you for those beautiful stories, I really enjoyed the history, every Australian should know this.❤️❤️. Regards Marc

Excellent book. I really enjoyed this book. I couldn’t put it down. Wonderful to read about these great woman and what they did.

Heartwarming story. A wonderfully researched story of the Australian women who signed up for duty during the war, & finally were recognised for their contribution. I hope had I lived through that era I might have done the same. Loved this story of “the girls”.
