A New Start for the Wrens

The Wrens, Book 1

De: Vicki Beeby

Narrado por: Bethan Rose Young

Could there be a spy on the island? And can the Wrens prevent disaster striking before it’s too late? Find out in this compelling and heart-warming Second World War saga by Vicki Beeby.

Following a humiliating experience involving the man she thought she’d marry, Iris Tredwick signs up to the Wrens in order to escape and - hopefully - find ‘the right sort’ of man to please her mother. After a bumpy start, Iris manages to befriend outspoken Mary and dreamer Sally as they are sent to their first posting - in Orkney.

There she meets engineer Rob, whose flirtatious nature both charms and confounds straight-laced Iris. Much more appropriate for her is local doctor Stewart, if only she felt the same spark for him as she does for Rob....

As Iris, Mary and Sally work to interpret signals from incoming ships, they realise the enemy is somehow always one step ahead of their manoeuvres, dropping sea mines under the cover of darkness.

Friendships made and significant others met during, with wwii as a backdrop

The series features three friends who met during their work as wrens. Each girl had unique backgrounds, hardships and histories. Each novel in the series features one of the three friends finding love.
The stories were awesome to read (and/oe hear) but once the coupling was made… the book ends. So, you found yourself craving a bit more of the happy ending. But, I suppose wanting more is a sign of very much enjoying the book. Thanks Vicki

Heartwarming story

Well written and heartwarming story about war and friendship. Really enjoyed listening. Good narration as well.

Lack of closure

The ending needs an epilogue or introduction to a sequel. The author leaves too many open story lines.
