Books like Land girls by Angela Huth

The year is 1941, and John and Faith Lawrence's farmhands have been called away to serve their country. Desperate for help, the Lawrences take advantage of England's new Land Army plan, which brings young women into the fields. But the three land girls that John and Faith receive may be more trouble than they bargained for. Prue, a boy-hungry hairdresser from Manchester, is transferred to a life of plowing, sweating, and manure shoveling. Agatha is a brainy Cambridge undergraduate eager to share her Homer knowledge with Mr. Lawrence's oldest son. Stella is a dreamy Surrey girl whose separation from her lover, Phillip, is complicated by her navy service. Three young women from different backgrounds find themselves thrown together, sharing an attic bedroom and developing friendships that will last a lifetime. With wit, charm, and emotion, Angela Huth has created a novel of delicate passions, richly observed.
