LOVED this book so much! I read it in one day--to heck with housework! I am old enough to remember the disparity of wages--which hasn't improved all that much IMHO. Elizabeth is my hero(ine)! Will you write a sequel?

Thanks, Deby. Yes, that wage disparity issue lives on, doesn't it? I'm not working on a sequel right now (have something else brewing), but you never know!

Hi there! I’m so excited to read your book. I just have one question and one comment. Why is this considered historical fiction? I understand that it’s set in the 1960s during the beginning of the teasing of feminism but don’t historical events have to be a part of the novel? Maybe I’m getting ahead of myself and it’s full of historical references, and if so, my apologies!

Like everyone I’m in love with the book. I bought it on kindle and it’s so hard to re-read bits so I’m going to buy it in hardback!. I was desperate to find out who could have written such a book so read your bio and to my astonishment you also swim at the Hampstead Ponds! I’m writing a book and I’m finding cold water swimming helps me think through blocks or plot options. Has swimming helped you in this way?
