Inhaltsangabe:
Finalist - 2025 Wishing Shelf Book Awards "A masterclass in suspense... haunting, beautiful, and breathtakingly tense." - Hugh Van Es Yorkshire, 1916. At the Barnbow munitions factory near Leeds, women are paid a penny for every shell they fill. Speed means money. Speed means survival. But in a factory thick with explosive TNT dust, speed also means death. A Penny a Shell follows one day in the lives of three working-class women-Eliza, Sarah, and Lucy-whose paths converge on the factory floor of Room 42. As pressure mounts and danger closes in, their stories build toward the real explosion that killed thirty-five women on 5 December 1916. Inspired by true events, factory records, and family history, this is a powerful World War 1 historical novel of resilience, friendship, and the hidden cost of war on the women of the British home front. Perfect for readers of The Nightingale and The Alice Network.
Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor: Antony J. Bell is a historical fiction author whose work is deeply rooted in the history and soil of the North of England. Raised in a working-class Yorkshire family, he has always been drawn to the quiet, untold stories of ordinary people caught in the sweep of extraordinary events. His debut novel, A Penny a Shell, is a personal tribute born from a piece of his own family history: the story of his great-grandmother, who was one of the thirty-five women killed in the catastrophic Barnbow munitions factory explosion of 1916. Driven by this deep personal connection, Antony combines meticulous historical research with empathetic storytelling. He seeks to honor the courage, sacrifice, and fierce solidarity of the women on the WWI home front-giving a voice to those who were silenced by history. Antony lives in Yorkshire with his family and is dedicated to uncovering the stories that have been forgotten.
