This is London 1945, when all nice people are poor. Muriel Spark sets us down among the girls of good family but slender means as they fight it out, from their Kensington hostel to the last clothing coupon until this charmingly light-hearted period in their lives descends into horror and tragedy.
This book has been on my shelf for a good while, but I finally got around to register and read it.
I really enjoyed this book, though it's a fairly quick read.

Thank you so much, lunacia! I have read at least one book by Muriel Spark and I liked it very much, so now I am looking forward to read this.

I realyl enjoy this reading. I think Muriel Spark is a master in writing long stories with many surprises on a few pages.

Once again the curse of popular books hit me. No idea why this keeps on happening to me and books I'd love to love 😭 Thought I loved the beginning, the rest of the book was like running in tar. Taking ages, not entertaining.
If there had been more crossovers to the 60s, the story might have been a bit more interesting. I would have loved reading a bit more of how the girls' lives turned out!
