Product Description
Mary, Anne, Iris and tough little Effie form a formidable group when, in 1939, they join the FANYs, or more precisely the First Aid Nursing Yeomanry, euphemistically calling themselves 'The Glory Girls'. However, the glory they dreamed of is short-lived as their unit moves from the London blitz to occupied France. Forbidden love, betrayal and tragedy stalk them and as their personal courage is tried - and sometimes found lacking - survival seems to depend largely on luck. This is especially so for Mary. As a Special Operations Executive, and with very little training, she is sent behind enemy lines in a desperate attempt to save the lives of men in a safe house under Nazi threat. And now her only contact has been murdered by the Gestapo...

My glorious Glory Girls!, Aug 22 2010
By Mrs. June Gadsby - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Glory Girls (Hardcover)
"My" Glory Girls because I wrote it! I had an idea to write a book celebrating the centenary of the Fannys. My agent asked for a saga spanning one hundred years - to be written in three months. I made it, research included, with one day to spare and my agent claimed that I had turned the saga into a wartime thriller. For me that was brilliant news since I have always wanted to write thrillers and have been gradually inserting an injection of suspense in all my books. How I enjoyed writing The Glory Girls! There's lots of excitement, lots of humour and drama, and the ubiquitous romance at the heart of things. If this book doesn't please you, then take a look at my other titles - they are all different. And, I've just had my seventh full-length novel accepted by Robert Hale - "The Raging Spirit", set in the wild islands of St Kilda in 1900. An adventure wrapping itself around intrigue, murder and romance. It's expected to be published in 2011, so keep looking in.
