This is Phyllida Shrimptons second book and I think very successful.
It tells the story of Saffron, a very indulged young lady who can only see the world in respect of herself. She lives in great comfort with her father and step mother, who she resents very much. Finding that she has been lied to for years and thus furious with her father she leaves home without thought. Unfortunately she assumes she can stay with her friend Tom but he’s unable to help her. She finds out life is not as easy as expected and reaches rock bottom before she realises what is important.
I did or expect to enjoy this book so much, but it is well written and the narrative kept me engaged. I can honestly recommend this novel to other readers.
