I have enjoyed all of Susanna Bavins's book. Now writing under the name of Polly Heron, The Surplus girls is another five star read for me. It made me realise how many poor women were left surplus after the World War One with some many young women were left after losing their menfolk. You realise how hard it was for a woman to establish herself in a job after the war.
This book enlightens on the life of Belinda who lost her Finance Ben in the war and two Older spinster Ladies Prudence and Patient. This is such a beautiful well written book and Polly Heron (Susanna Bavin)has well research it). Hopefully there will be more books in the future from this talented author. This is a five star read from me and a recommended read.
