This is one of those books I bought in a bundle from the Book People, link at the bottom of this. It was cheaper to buy the bundle of books, obtaining two I wanted, for the price of maybe 1 and 1/2 in the shops, and getting 7.
However saying that....this book was very entertaining. It follows three girls in the summer before they go up to university. The difference being these three girls have grown up during the second world war, and they haven't really had the chance to be "girls", they just had to get on with growing up. There are some very poignant moments in the book, and I would happily read another by this author.
