Thanks for the book,I must admit it was quite thought provoking ,being set in what seems a different world to today.The female characters would certainly follow different paths today and there would be much more support for them now.It certainly brings to mind an era when curtains twitched and no one said anything.A pleasant holiday read. I wonder if Lesley ever visited a dress shop like the one at Bexhill on sea?I certainly remember going to one with my mum in the late 60's.
I visited many dress shops like the one in my book during the ’60’s, though the ones I remember most were run by fearsome women who barked at you and hated it if you said you ‘were just looking’. I remember one where us girls used to dare each other to go in to wind the owner up and not buy anything. I can’t remember one with a kind, interesting owner like Gloria, that was wishful thinking.
