Set in London in 1945, the novel follows a group of young women of good family but slender means residing in the May of Teck Club, a women's hostel. Amidst the aftermath of the war, the girls strive to maintain a semblance of normalcy, concerning themselves with suitors and a Schiaparelli gown. However, behind this facade of frivolity, painful secrets and wounds are hidden. The novel explores themes of class, survival, and the complexities of the female condition in times of adversity.
Dame Muriel Sarah Spark was a Scottish novelist, short story writer, poet and essayist.
