Our book reviewer for this week is JennyG. JennyG wrote about The Farmer’s daughter by Mary Nichols.
“Depending on the generation the reader belongs to, this book of 380 pages may or may not be a page turner. For me it is definitely a page turner. The story is fiction, but could be based on any number of stories of similar incidents that happened in England during and after WW2.
As a child I often admired a beautifully hand-embroidered table-cloth and a pencil sketch of my older sister, both were the work of a German Prisoner-of-War who was billeted to stay with my Parent's and my sister during hostilities from which a friendship grew to remain until the 1970’s.
This is a nice “comfortable” novel to read. Not too long, not too short. No unnecessary long drawn-out descriptions to wade through. Historically correct. In short a good book.”
