About this listen
Winner of the RNA Romantic Saga Award 2021
An inspiring and uplifting tale of women on the home front. For fans of Annie Groves and Nancy Revell.
On the ground, the crowd of men stood with their mouths agape, watching the wings soar into the air, the tail kept impressively steady and the small plane with a woman at the controls disappearing into the May sunshine.
It's 1942 and Bobby Hollis has joined the Air Transport Auxiliary in a team known as the 'glamour girls' - amazing women who pilot aircraft all around the country.
Bobby always wanted to escape life on the family farm and the ATA seemed like the perfect opportunity for her. But there's always something standing in her way. Like a demanding father, who wants to marry her off to a rich man. And the family secrets that threaten to engulf everything.
As Bobby navigates her way through life, and love, she has to learn that controlling a huge, four-engined bomber might just be easier than controlling her own life . . .

Uplifting and insightful.
I listened to Bobbys War on a 5 hour flight. Listening made s long later night journey a pleasure. I enjoyed the narration and getting to know the characters. Bobby is a real inspiration and wow how these girls had an impact on the war effort. I found it really interesting hearing about the stories of the ATA pilots. What times they lived through! Thank you for bringing the stories it to life Shirley Mann

I loved them all
I've now read all these books and loved them all!! Beautifully written wonderful stories. The narrator was brilliant, just glad she didn't try the Norfolk accent ... I'm from Norfolk and know it's a difficult one, haha. I love the fact that it's based on truth and such a delightful reminder that we women were amazing in WWII. Thank you

Loved this!
If I had been reading it I wouldn’t have put it down. Listened to it in 2 days, loved learning even more about the tricks and “hacks” that they used, along with raw descriptions mixed with empowering women and of course romance. Downloaded without hesitation after listening to Lilys War and can’t wait to get Hannah’s war next!

Superb
I thought it may be a little lightweight, was glad to be proven very wrong.Fabulously researched and many times had tears in my eyes listening to it. Lovely narration too. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

I loved this!
This was such an original and engaging story with a strong female protagonist and well written characters. The narrator read it well, though a few of the characters sounded very similar.
