Recenzii

' ... The text combines first hand accounts with interviews held with the editor. The collection vividly brings to life the girls' personal experiences and highlights their daily work ... They also recalled their social lives, whist drives and dances ... The centre of the book has a lovely photographic section.' Scottish Farmer ' ... The introduction to the book draws together many of the key issues faced by the women ... A good amount of background material is provided, making it easy to picture the young women and their lives during the war. Were this not sufficient, two dozen images are also included from the Land Girls' own photograph collections showing them at work and relaxing in their off hours. ... an entertaining and information read that will appeal to a wide audience.' History Scotland 'National Museums Scotland have a happy knack of publishing books on subjects that have probably never crossed your mind before, yet which turn out to be captivating and thought provoking. Scotland's Land Girls: Breeches, Bombers and Backaches, to give its full title, fits this pattern very well indeed.' Undiscovered Scotland (website) ' ... I found this book totally absorbing. The ladies' reminiscences reveal a great deal of information about an aspect of the war effort which is often overlooked.' Scottish Home and County ' ... full of lively accounts of working and living on farms and how the experience shaped the girls' subsequent lives. ...' Ayrshire Notes ' ... Edwards has undertaken an important role in preserving the history and experiences of these women and their vital part in the war effort.' Northern Scotland
