The Daffodil Girls show as much patriotism, courage and public service as the soldiers themselves ... These women are the heroines who cherish their heroes.
Sarah Brown, President, PiggyBankKids children's charity and wife of Gordon Brown MP, Former British Prime Minister
This is a timely and charmingly told account of the lives of the "force behind the forces" - the families of those brave soldiers who are risking lives and limbs on the front line.
Chris Patten
This is a moving tribute to the wives and families who are left behind when Britain's soldiers go out to fight- the story of their courage in the face of separation, loneliness and fear for those they love. Kitty Dimbleby's message is that war breeds more than one kind of hero worthy of our admiration and support.
Max Hastings
These "Daffodil Girls", and scores of other army wives like them, are indeed amongst the unsung heroines of our times; and we as a nation owe not just their husbands, but these women too, an enormous debt of gratitude for all they achieve. Thank you so much for this book Kitty - I can not recommend it more highly to Service and civilian readers alike - It's a real gem!
Lady Pippa Dannatt, wife of General Richard Dannatt
Daffodil Girls is touching, fascinating, sensitively written and, no doubt, required reading for any prospective Army spouse. And for anyone who's ever wondered what goes on in those garrison towns.
Wendy Holden, The Daily Mail
How touching to hear the inside stories of the ones they left behind - Kitty Dimbleby's poignant book captures the love and heartbreak of Army wives threaded through with courage and enormous humour - wonderful.
