He thinks he's too old. She thinks she's too young. Can these teachers learn that love defies all boundaries?

Born and raised in London, Isobel Turvine knows nothing about farming, but after most of the students in her school evacuate during Operation Pied Piper, she's left with little to do. Then her friend Margery talks her into joining the Women's Land Army, and she finds herself working the land at a manor home in Yorkshire that's been converted to a boys' school. A teacher at heart, she is drawn to the lads, but the handsome yet stiff-necked headmaster wants her to stick to farming.

Left with an arm that barely works from the last "war to end all wars," Gavin Emerson agrees to take on the job of headmaster when his school moves from London to Yorkshire, but he's saddled with the quirky manor owner, bickering among his teachers, and a gaggle of Land Army girls who have turned the grounds into a farm. When the group's blue-eyed, raven-haired leader nearly runs him down in a car, he admonishes her to stay in the fields, but they are thrown together at every turn. Can he trust her not to break his heart?

    Format: Paperback
    The war is changing so many peoples plans and futures. Children are being shipped off to the country to keep them safe and young men are being shipped off to the battlefields. The country still has to eat and be taken care of. That is what this historical is about. It gives us a glimpse into the home war efforts and how large estates and farms, with women workers, kept Great Britain fed.

    Isobel Turvine is a teacher not a farmer. However, with no students and needing a job, she signs up with the Women's Land Army, and she will learn a lot. She and the other women will be sharing an estate with a private boy's school who also has been relocated. This is where the headmaster, Gavin Emerson steps in.

    Gavin was a soldier in WW1, which left him with a severe injury to his arm. But he is willing to do his part as headmaster, and he takes keeping these boys in check seriously. What he didn't count on was meeting Isobel, the very first time she nearly ran him over with a tractor. Love can bloom even in hard times.

    I found this historical interesting as it looked at a different part of WW2. The people who still had to live and keep the country going even while the war was going on around them and taking their loved ones to fight. Very interesting.

    I was provided a copy of this novel from the author. I was not required to post a positive review, and all views and opinions are my own.

    Linda Shenton Matchett is a serious writer, A Lesson in Love validates this fact. This book would have been a challenge for me to write from the development of the story to the interesting and well-developed characters. I fell in love with Isobel, you will learn why when you read the book. This book is a lesson in love we can learn from. Great work Linda Shenton Matchett.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable WWII novel
    Reviewed in the United States on November 17, 2025
    Format: Paperback
    A Lesson in Love brings a different perspective to World War II that I haven't read about before. It is an enjoyable read.

    War changes lives, and people's plans. In the UK children had to be sent into the country to keep them safe, or even overseas to North America. Young ladies had to take over farming to help provide food for their soldiers and the rest of the nation.

    I enjoyed reading about the Women's Land Army and how it operated, and how it worked to provide food for the troops as well as for citizens.

    The relationship between Gavin and Isobel is entertaining, as is how they each handle their respective responsibilities.

    If you enjoy historical Christian fiction, set in World War II United Kingdom, be sure to add this one to your TBR list.

    I received a complimentary copy. These opinions are my own.

    4.0 out of 5 stars On the British Home Front WWII
    Reviewed in the United States on November 13, 2025
    Format: Paperback
    This endearing World War II historical novel offers a fun read. Set on a lord’s manor in England, relocated boys and their teachers join a group of young women who are there to work the land. The setting and clashes offer a myriad of opportunities for conflict in addition for the potential for a love relationship to develop. The relationships portrayed along with the character growth that transpired make for an engaging story that grabs readers’ attention and holds it until the end. I would enjoy reading more about the people on these pages. The plot may not be surprising but it does contain some twists and turns along the way. The characters show us a fine example of how to deal with others and problems that arise. You can’t help but care about every one of them. The book is short and easy to read and would make a great book club discussion. I received a copy from Celebrate Lit. All opinions are my own.
