The Making of Maggie Munroe

By J.J, Scott

Genre:-Women's Fiction

Blurb:-Meet Maggie Munroe, a girl with the strength of Glasgow in her heart and a bunch of men trying muscle their way into it. They won't rest until only one has succeeded but, fortunately, she doesn't suffer fools gladly and can see them coming a mile off-with the help of her intuition, her died mammy and a knickerbocker glory.

 It is wartime in Maryhill. Glasgow. The city is in turmoil but, throughout it all, its residents struggle for whatever sliver of normalcy they can get. With the support of a boisterous family and steadfast friends, can Maggie navigate 1930s and 40s societal politics in her attempt to find the right path? Her gang includes her unwavering daddy who often cannot see past the end of his nose, an interfering aunt whose biggest belief is in her own opinion and a acceptance, so, when it comes to the four men makin' a meal o' it, they are in good company. Still, oor Maggie will not go down without a fight.

My Review:-Just want to say, I loved everything about this book, especially the way it's wrote. I spent many of my school holidays in Scotland. Depending where you live in Scotland will depend on how strong the dialect is, but I didn't have any problem with it.

 The story is set in the 30s and 40s, and tells you about life leading up to, and during World War two. Not everyone could go and fight and many found it hard being left at home, especially the women. When Maggie's mother dies it's up to her to step up. Maggie is a strong woman, knowing what she needs to do and won't be taking for granted. The story has been well wrote.
