About the Books
This five-book collection traces the Yorkshire Dales village of Silverdale as the Second World War reshapes everyday life. It opens with War Comes to the Dales, where reporter Bobby Bancroft arrives in the seemingly untouched village only to watch war finally close in during the summer of 1941. The Variety Girls turns to Bradford mill worker Molly Clough, who swaps factory life for the stage after auditioning for ENSA, the forces' entertainment organisation nicknamed 'Every Night Something Awful'. A Wartime Wedding in the Dales follows Bobby into 1942, as a joyful Christmas with fiancé Charlie gives way to heartbreak when he is called up and she must leave her job at The Tyke magazine for war work. In A Little Miracle in the Dales, newlyweds Bobby and Charlie are tested again as Bobby returns to her role as an Air Force plotter while Charlie recovers in Silverdale from a serious injury. The collection closes with Brighter Skies in the Dales, as Charlie receives a medical discharge and the couple return to civilian life in a village forever changed by wartime loss. Together, the five novels form a moving, continuous story of community, courage and new beginnings, rich with period detail of rural Yorkshire life.
About the Author
Betty Firth is the author behind this Yorkshire Dales wartime saga series, bringing to life the everyday courage of village communities during the Second World War. Writing with warmth and careful period detail, Firth explores how ordinary people in rural Yorkshire coped with conscription, rationing and loss, while never losing sight of hope, romance and resilience. Her storytelling has found a natural home with saga readers who enjoy character-led historical fiction set against real wartime backdrops.
