The Patchwork Girls by Elaine Everest is a standalone novel. In the year 1939, following the sudden and tragic loss of her husband, Helen finds herself returning to her mother’s home in Biggin Hill, Kent – a place she had sworn never to visit again.

Alone and uncertain of her next steps, Helen joins the local women’s sewing circle, despite having minimal sewing skills. These resourceful women not only mend clothing, quilts, and knit hats, but their companionship also begins to heal something deeper within Helen. Lizzie, a natural leader, is always ready to offer support and a listening ear. Effie has uprooted her life from London to shield her two young daughters from the bombing raids. For her, the sewing circle provides a welcome distraction from worries about housing and concerns for her husband, who is serving overseas.

When the true cause of Helen’s husband’s death is revealed, her world is once again upended. The diligent investigating officer, Richard, spares no effort in seeking answers, and it doesn’t take long for his interest in Helen to transcend the professional realm. As Helen assembles old fabrics into a beautiful quilt, she faces the challenge of mending the rifts in her own life.

The Teashop Girls by Elaine Everest is the first book in the series of the same name. The year is early 1940, and the grip of World War II has already tightened its hold on the country. Rose Neville is employed as a Lyon’s Teashop Nippy on the Kent coast, alongside her childhood companions, the ambitious Lily and Katie, whose fiancé is soon to be deployed overseas in the navy. As the war wreaks havoc in Europe, Rose finds solace in the tight-knit friendships she shares with her friends and her family.

One day, Captain Benjamin Hargreaves walks into the teashop, and Rose is immediately captivated by him. However, Lyon’s strict policy against romantic involvement between staff and customers forces her to try and push the handsome officer out of her thoughts.

In a world growing increasingly dark and perilous, Rose fears that time may be running out. But she can’t help but wonder if the dashing captain is all that he appears to be.
