[Sarahb. · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book was given tome by Peter Gowen of Pontypridd Wales. The author is British and the book takes place in England, mostly in Leeds, and is full of British dry humor. It was very enjoyable. I can relate to the character of Jill Swinburne:) A very fun jaunt into England!

Alan Plater month in this household: 4 novels and a jaunt to Scarborough to see (and really enjoy) the Blond Bombshells 0f 1943. A very happy month indeed. Maybe even eclipsing Priestley month and Barstow month...with more northern writers in the pipeline.
