This was an engrossing read; emotional, immersive and utterly absorbing -- Jennifer Saint, Sunday Times bestselling author of Ariadne A corker. It's the story of three working class women in 1950's London. It's so evocative, you can *smell* the gas fires, the lard, the perfume, the talc, the gin. It's bleakly honest about women's lot at the time (not so very long ago) and the tale is deftly woven. I loved how the strands came together, very satisfying -- Kate Sawyer, author of The Stranding A wonderfully evocative, immersive novel that brings 50s London to life, from the smog and the nightlife to attitudes towards women.
