With the country on the brink of war, a family also faces struggles closer to home.

Try a Little Tenderness is a moving wartime saga, which sees Joan Jonker weave her magic once again in an unforgettable tale that is sure to stay with you long after you have finished the last page. Perfect for fans of Lindsey Hutchinson and Dilly Court.


Jenny and Laura Nightingale are as different as chalk and cheese. Jenny’s pretty face and lively sense of humour make her everyone’s favourite girl, whereas Laura is mean and moody and she’s never out of trouble. Their mother, Mary, loves them both and frets about Laura’s behaviour, but soon that’s the least of her worries… Her father’s new young wife, Celia, is about to bring shame on the family by leading Laura astray. Jenny attracts the attention of two young lads in her street who both want to court her. Mick and John have been mates since they were kids but now war is declared, and it’s every man for himself! Meanwhile Laura’s resentment begins to build and it’s only a matter of time before things come to a head. Who will learn that a little tenderness goes a long way?

What Amazon readers are saying about Try a Little Tenderness:

‘Yet another hilarious and life like read. Growing up is not easy for anyone but this book shows that there is light at the end of the teenage years. The characters are so witty you can’t help but wish you were their friend too! It shows that life is never easy, but there is always somebody there to lend moral support, a joke or a cup of sugar! Highly recommended’

AMAZING. Always a pleasure to read. I always enjoy these books, you lose yourself in them every time you pick them up’
