About this listen

The Girl from the Corner Shop is a love story set in Manchester which will appeal to the fans of Diney Costeloe and Dilly Court.

Widowed early in World War Two, heartbroken Helen Harrison decides to leave her domineering mother determined to rebuild her shattered life. Her godmother, Pearl, offers her work in a fashion wholesaler. When the showroom is robbed, she meets DC Kershaw, and he inspires her to join the Women's Auxiliary Police Corps. Helen throws herself into the work, dealing with evacuees, the destitute and vulnerable. A series of tragic events makes Helen realise there's still something missing in her life, and soon she will have to choose between two very different men vying for her heart.

This was an enjoyable read. A wife loses her husband during the war but rather than a soldier or bombing it was a fire fighter which made it a read from a different perspective. It was enjoyable.
