Critics Review
An extraordinary story.
This is a tale of survival - of six girls who faced bombs and prejudice alike, but who rolled up their sleeves and looked after each other. Nobody could accuse the lively Sisters of Battle Road of keeping calm. But by heck, they carried on. * Daily Mail *Survival against the odds… [an] amazing story. * The Sun *An extraordinary story. * The Guardian *This story hits hard with nostalgia for a vanished world where pennies counted, housewifery was taught at school and every one pulled together, untied by a common enemy. * Sussex Life *
