“Joanna Foat’s characters are brilliantly drawn and so wonderfully written, readers will end up missing them when they turn the last page. Their struggles, friendships and dramas kept me hooked till the end and I found myself wiping away a tear or two on many an occasion.
"Written with style, flair and heart, this evocative, entertaining and gloriously readable historical novel is a delight from beginning to end and I look forward to reading more books from Joanna Foat.”

"Today is my turn on the blog tour for #TheLumberjillsStrongerTogether by the knowledgeable @jofoat Thank you to @RandomTTours & #MerrowDownsPress for my gifted copy. Here’s my review of this triumph of a historical read." Clare Janet Mason, The Fallen Librarian Reviews
"Here is my review of the powerful novel "The Lumberjills - Stronger Together" by Joanna Foat @jofoat on http://northernreader.wordpress.com - when young women joined the Land Army to help provide wood for the War effort, things were not easy..." Julie Barham, Northern Reader
"It is a well written, enjoyable novel about a group of girls from different backgrounds who joined the Women’s Timber Corps. What impressed me more is that this book is Joanna’s first work of fiction – and what a fabulous non stop page turning debut – but Joanna has written a non fiction book about The Lumberjills, has spoken to more than 60 former Lumberjills and has spent 10 years researching her subject. That’s amazing!" Linda Hobden, Boots Shoes and Fashion
“It's wonderful to read these stories of the women who contributed so much to the war effort but were then forgotten about.
Thanks to Joanna's perseverance and determination, they are now being rightly honoured and remembered.”
"The Lumberjills Britains Forgotton Army is a true story full of anecdotes about the girls doing their bit during the Second World War, reminding us of the incredible hard work they undertook helping to keep Britain Safe.”
