ABOUT THIS BOOK Alice, Victoria and Molly couldn't be more different and yet they share a friendship that stems back to their childhood – a friendship that provides everyday solace from the tribulations and heartbreak of war. Perfect for fans of Elaine Everest, Daisy Styles and Rosie Hendry. All the Foyles girls want this Christmas is their loved ones back safe and sound and to look foward to a New Year without the shadow of war... The final book in Elaine Roberts' heartwarming Foyles Girlstrilogy. MY REVIEW A moving story of love and friendship, CHRISTMAS AT THE FOYLES BOOKSHOP by Elaine Roberts is sure to please historical fiction fans everywhere. This tight-knit bunch of friends return as we get to know more about Alice, Victoria, and Molly's lives during wartime. I had not read the previous books in the series which is something that I intend to rectify but getting to know each of these women and watching their care for each other was a lovely thing to behold. The setting of the bookshop was simply magical and I felt like I was there each time as the author is great at painting a picture and a sense of place for the reader. It is a story of hope and moving forward but is also true to its time and the harsh realities of war for soldiers and their loved ones are well portrayed and are sure to make you grab for the tissues at times. CHRISTMAS AT THE FOYLES BOOKSHOP by Elaine Roberts shows the power of friendship and the strength women find in themselves and each other when needs must, and I look forward to reading more from this author. AUTHOR BIO Elaine Roberts had a dream to write for a living. She completed her first novel in her twenties and received her first very nice rejection. Life then got in the way until circumstances made her re-evaluate her life, and she picked up her dream again in 2010. She joined a creative writing class, The Write Place, in 2012 and shortly afterwards had her first short story published. She was thrilled when many more followed and started to believe in herself. As a member of the Romantic Novelists’ Association and The Society of Women Writers & Journalists, Elaine attends many conferences, workshops, seminars and wonderful parties. Meeting other writers gives her encouragement, finding most face similar problems. Elaine and her patient husband, Dave, have five children who have flown the nest. Home is in Dartford, Kent and is always busy with their children, grandchildren, grand dogs and cats visiting. Without her wonderful family and supportive friends, she knows the dream would never have been realised.
