Summary: All the sweet Promises
Review: I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and had great difficulty putting it down once I had begun. Elgin totlally engrosed me with her sympathetic approach.

The story is of three girls from very different but plausible backgrounds, who by chance, end up meeting on a railway station on their way to their 'ship' in Scotland during World War II. It tells of their exploits and love stories as the war progresses. Whilst this was an era I was not alive in it felt extreamly real and the factual references were so accurate they amased me. Being the daughter of a World War II telegraphist also stationed in Scotland it made real many of the things the girls were involved in. Obviously Elgin was using her first hand knowlede to great effect. These girls became my friends whilst I read andI had to go on to read another of Elgin's masterpieces .
