The eighth heart-warming novel in Elaine Everest's bestselling Woolworths series, "The Woolworth Girl's Promise" delves into the tumultuous life of a much-loved girl working in the iconic shop. Set in the early 1900s, the story follows seventeen-year-old Elizabeth Billington, who faces a lonely future after her beloved fiancé, lost at Ypres in 1917, and her estrangement from her upper-class parents due to her association with Charlie Sayers and his working-class family.
Determined to change her circumstances, Betty sees an advertisement for a job at Woolworths and embarks on a new and thrilling journey. Starting at the bottom of the employment ladder, she works her way up through the ranks and eventually finds herself in Ramsgate, Kent, where she opens a new store. Along the way, she meets fellow Woolworths Girls and forms strong friendships.
However, Elizabeth's journey is not without its challenges. She must navigate the complexities of her personal life, including her feelings for Charlie and the promise she made to him. As war looms on the horizon in 1938, Elizabeth must confront the consequences of her choices and decide what truly matters to her.
"The Woolworth Girl's Promise" is a warm, tender tale of friendship and love that will touch the hearts of readers. Everest's storytelling is masterful, and her characters are relatable and memorable. This novel is a must-read for anyone who enjoys historical fiction with a touch of romance and a glimpse into the lives of ordinary people during challenging times.
