We are in 1941 - the beginning of the 2nd World War - England struggling to find arms for turning the factories and farms.
Reformed men and women are asked to contribute to the war effort.
It is within this framework that our "3 Angels" urban, will be assigned Hallows Farm and learn the hard job of "farm boy".
Prue (Prudence), the youngest of the three, was a hairdresser in London. Soon called "little sassy," she crunches life and men and full of love affairs énergie.Ses all open in a deadlock.
After the war, it will eventually find its rich elected, but will not have a child.
Ag (Agatha), who lost his mother to 2 years in a convent, in love with a student from Cambridge, is anxious to get rid of her virginity. It will review Desmond after the war and married her.
Stella, who thinks not live without love and who only thinks Philip she yet know so little. They promise marriage when they first "night". But Stella feels "emptiness and darkness" after love.
This is Joe (son of Mr Lawrence, owner of the farm) that she will fall in love; a love without limits and reciprocal.
And other characters radiate around the 3 girls, just as tasty.
I agree with the majority to confirm that this novel is excellent. Clear style and writing. Endearing characters and beautifully painted.
The countryside and farm work are described with realism and poetry.
The war forced to live 200% this time without asking too many questions.
These 3 girls augur a new generation of emancipated women, workers and volunteers.
A beautiful reflection on Love; Prue the "collector", Stella who will sacrifice his life for his love life.
One would sink into cutesy but such is not the case; Angela Huth sign a beautiful work.
