Given that I've acquired loads of Orange Penguin books to sell for someone, I took the opportunity to read an author I have enjoyed...this novel says a lot about life in the 50s 60s. Think "Up the Junction" (Nell Dunne) . In those days it really was a tragicomedy as described on the back cover - it is seedy, sad and an epitome of some women in those times; an irony. The power of womanhood has improved. Would I recommend it? For social history: it's a quick read!
