About the Book
Nancy Revell's Shipyard Girls series began in 2016 with The Shipyard Girls and quickly grew into one of the most cherished wartime sagas in British commercial fiction, inspired by the real women who kept Sunderland's shipyards running during the Second World War. This six-book hardback collection carries readers from the opening days of the war through years of hardship, loss, and hard-won victories, as Polly, Gloria, Rosie, Helen, and the wider shipyard community navigate rationing, bombing raids, and the daily grind of physically demanding, dangerous work once reserved for men. Revell writes with a journalist's eye for authentic period detail and a novelist's warmth, drawing on her own family history of Sunderland shipbuilders to bring the yards, the terraced streets, and the pubs of wartime Wearside vividly to life. Each installment deepens the ensemble cast, weaving in new secrets, unexpected romances, and the quiet acts of courage that define ordinary people living through extraordinary times. Themes of female solidarity, class, work, and love run throughout, offering both escapist enjoyment and a genuine tribute to the women whose labor helped win the war at home.
