I really enjoyed this book. It tells the story of Belinda Layton who is a so called ‘surplus girl’ after losing her fiancé in the First World War. She is in mourning clothes still four years after the war ended and living with her intended in-laws. Belinda is working in a mill but keen to get an office job and this quest leads to her meeting various people who will change her life forever.
This is a period of history I am interested in but was not really aware of surplus girls until I read this novel. There are lots of strong (particularly female) characters in this book and I would recommend this novel to anyone who would like to learn more about this period of history. It’s an easy and enjoyable read.
