Publication Date: May 2, 2025
Manchester, 1941: Amid the heartbreak of war, can the girls band together to give their friend the wedding she deserves?
Kept apart by war work, bombs and blackouts, Lorna and her beloved George cherish every precious moment together. George’s vital role working for the War Office keeps him in London, while Lorna rolls up her sleeves to do her duty each day at the Manchester Salvage Depot, alongside her dearest friends, Sally and Betty.
When George proposes, Lorna is happier than she could ever have imagined. But her high spirits are soon dashed when she hears that the War Office is sending George to America. With the notoriously perilous Atlantic crossing standing between him and his safe return, suddenly Lorna’s future seems more under threat than ever before.
Despite the uncertainty, as the wedding date grows closer, the residents of Star House rally around Lorna to help her prepare. Even air raids and rationing can’t dampen the mood as a four-tiered wedding cake is fashioned out of cardboard. And when a beautiful wedding dress is gifted to her, the only thing left to do is anxiously await news of her fiancé…
Will Lorna and George get the happily-ever-after they dream of? And will the Home Front Girls finally be able to give their dear friend the perfect wedding day?
An absolutely page-turning and heart-wrenching romantic saga. Perfect for fans of Pam Howes, Rosie Clarke and Vicky Beeby.
Welcome to the next installment in the Home Front Girls series set in World War II.
Author Susanna Bavin serves up A Wedding for the Home Front Girls, marking the fourth in the series. To fully appreciate the characters, the series is best read in sequence.
Three young women—Sally, Betty, and Lorna—build a strong friendship forged around a shared boarding house and work during the war. With Sally and Betty, both married now, Lorna is about to get her happily ever after.
However, one thing after another makes it seem unlikely that Lorna’s wedding will happen. Whether it is her fiancé being sent to the United States for a trip or low supplies because of war rationing, Lorna’s hopes begin to fade. That’s when her friends jump in to help.
This tender romance features multiple couples and the challenges they face. The storyline, while dipping into a few sad moments, is generally fairly light.
A Wedding for the Home Front Girls continues the saga of three women who find friendship amid World War II.
