The Girl at the Farmhouse Gate by Julia Stoneham is a heartfelt historical saga set in wartime Devonshire, 1944. This is the second book in The Land Girls series, a moving tale that captures the spirit of camaraderie and resilience among a group of women brought together by the war. City girl Alice, once doubtful she could cope as a warden at Lower Post Stone Farm, finds herself forming deep bonds with her group of Land Girls as they navigate life, loss, and love amidst the turmoil of World War II.
Having left behind a shattered marriage and a bombed-out home in London, Alice begins to find solace and strength in the Devonshire countryside. The arrival of handsome farm owner Roger Bayliss adds a tender spark to her new life, but even blossoming friendships and the promise of hope are threatened when a terrifying event shakes their rural haven — a burning aircraft crashes nearby, and the pilot mysteriously vanishes. As danger looms, the women’s unbreakable friendship becomes their greatest lifeline.
The Girl at the Farmhouse Gate is an uplifting read for fans of wartime sagas and tales of female friendship, perfect for those who loved The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society or Rosie Clarke’s novels.
