The Woolworths Saturday Girls

A new generation of Woolworth girls navigate the challenges of life, love, and friendship in post-war London.

1950. The Second World War is over and life has moved on for the Woolworth girls, Sarah, Maisie and Freda. In a new world, the Woolworth women have high expectations of their daughters, wanting them to seize opportunities they didn't have themselves.

Ready to take on Saturday jobs at Woolworths, budding friends Bessie, Claudette, Clementine and Dorothy are faced with unforeseeable challenges as they step into adulthood. Their bond can only be strengthened as they overcome the darkest times together. Perhaps their lives are not as clear-cut as their mothers wished them to be . . .

When Bessie finds love in the wrong crowd and falls pregnant, the image of her future and ambitions become skewed. She relies on the Saturday girls to help her see her problems through – but how will they find a home for the baby when it arrives?

With wild imaginations, it is up to the Woolworths girls, new and old, to save the day – and their futures . . .

The Woolworths Saturday Girls is the seventh instalment in Elaine Everest's much-loved Woolworths series, perfect for fans of historical fiction, heartwarming family sagas, and 20th century romance.
