Title: Love's Harvest
Author: Linda Shenton Matchett
Date: 2018
Quote: "[Y]ou will lose your family's farm if you don't bring the outstanding loan up to date in sixty days."
Basil Quincey's father died and left Basil a mortgaged farm. Basil accepts the 1940s wartime offer of employing a bunkhouse full of "Land Girls," women who were sent around to do the chores of farmers who had gone to war. At their best the women are less efficient laborers than men. A Mrs. Hirsch is the slowest of all. Basil considers sending the whole troop back but there's something about Mrs. Hirsch...
What I received breaks off there. It's meant to be a trailer for a longer novel. This web site officially disapproves of the practice of sending people fragments of books. This book is not so delightfully written that anyone would want to linger over every word of Basil's impending romance with the widowed Mrs. Hirsch.
