July 1947. Britain is still gripped by rationing, even as the excitement of Princess Elizabethβs engagement sweeps the nation. In the Woolworthsβ canteen, Freda is still dreaming of meeting her own Prince Charming. So far sheβs been unlucky in love.
When she has an accident on her motorbike, knocking a cyclist off his bicycle, it seems bad luck is still following her around. Anthony is not only a fellow Woolworths employee but was an Olympic hopeful. Will his injured leg heal in time for him to compete? Can he ever forgive Freda?
Meanwhile, Sarah's idyllic family life is under threat with worries about her husband, Alan. Does he still love her?
The friends must rally round to face some of the toughest challenges of their lives together. And although they experience loss, hardship and shocks along the way, love is on the horizon for the Woolworths girls . . .
Wedding Bells for Woolworths is the fifth instalment in the Woolworths series. The series continues with the prequel story A Mother Forever, available now.
