Book Synopsis Green Hands by : Barbara Whitton
Book excerpt: It is 1943, and a month into their service as Land Girls, Bee, Anne and Pauline are dispatched to a remote farm in rural Scotland. Here they are introduced to the realities of lending a hand on the land, as back-breaking work and inhospitable weather mean they struggle to keep their spirits high. Soon one of the girls falters, and Bee and Pauline receive a new posting to a Northumberland dairy farm. Detailing their friendship, daily struggles and romantic intrigues with a lightness of touch, Barbara Whittons autobiographical novel paints a sometimes funny, sometimes bleak picture of time spent in the Womens Land Army during the Second World War.
