An enchanting and uplifting tale of love, friendship and the wondrousness of women, for wonder girls of all ages 'Don't follow the crowd,' she'd be telling schoolgirls at the swimming baths.

In 1937, on the instructions of the matron, a young skivvy at a grand maternity hospital in London smuggles out an orphaned baby on one of the coldest nights of the year. Now, in a small town in Wales, an old lady named Ceci pieces together these stories and is about to discover the surprising ways in which they link to her own. It begins with two girls in the twenties who left their small Welsh village for the Big Smoke, feeling that the world was changing and everything was possible…'An imaginative tour de force, moving and well-written and the characters are superb' Daily Mail 'Sparkling ... deceptively light … Jones's warmth and deft characterisation shine out' Guardian'An impressive debut' Bookseller
