Heaven and Hell for the Tobacco Girls by Lizzie Lane is the fourth novel in The Tobacco Girls series. While Heaven and Hell for the Tobacco Girls can be read as a standalone, I believe it is best to read the series in order. It will allow you to have the complete background on the characters and follow their journey from the beginning of the war. It is the spring of 1943 in Bristol. The war has been going on for years and rationing is taking its toll. I thought Heaven and Hell for the Tobacco Girls was well-written with developed characters. The characters are realistic and suited the time period. The author captured the era with the war activities, clothing, rationing, language, and the war news. Everyone wants to do their bit. We get to meet a couple of new people who enter the ladies� lives. I like how all different races and nationalities are portrayed in this story. The war allowed our Bristol ladies to meet people from other countries right in their hometown. Heaven and Hell for the Tobacco Girls is an emotional story. There is grief, love, joy, anger, and sadness in this dramatic tale. We get to learn more about the ladies and their families. Heaven and Hell for the Tobacco Girls is told from multiple points-of-view. I found it a little difficult in the beginning, but I found it easier as I got further into the story. There is some violence in the story that might be a trigger for some people plus there is bigotry (just to let you know). The story ends leaving me wondering what will happen next with The Tobacco Girls. Heaven and Hell for the Tobacco Girls is a dramatic tale with nosy neighbors, tons of tea, fashion rationing, flamboyant flyboys, medical miracles, nimble nuptials, and daring dames.
