The Guernsey Girls Find Peace cover

In this final installment, the Guernsey Girls confront the challenges of war while holding onto their dreams of peace and friendship.

In The Guernsey Girls Find Peace, the poignant conclusion of the wartime trilogy by Mary Wood unfolds against the backdrop of World War II. Set in the winter of 1941, the narrative follows Olivia, whose life on Guernsey is shattered by the Nazi occupation. Forced to flee her home in the dead of night, she finds herself in London’s East End, where the ghosts of her past confront her. To uncover the whereabouts of her son’s father, Olivia reluctantly agrees to undertake a perilous mission as a spy for the British. The stakes are high, and her determination to reunite with her little boy drives her forward through danger and uncertainty.

Meanwhile, Annie faces her own struggles as she grapples with the disappearance of her husband. Each day that passes diminishes her hope of his return, leaving her to shoulder the burden of survival alone. With mouths to feed and the threat of nightly bombings looming, Annie must summon her strength to persevere. The question remains: will she be forced to abandon her dreams of true love in the face of such adversity?

Despite the physical distance separating them, the bond between the Guernsey Girls remains unbreakable. Through shared heartache and resilience, they strive to maintain their dreams of peace amidst the chaos of war. The Guernsey Girls Find Peace is a tale of friendship, sacrifice, and the enduring hope for a brighter future.
