Sally on the Rocks, Paperback / softback Book

Sally on the Rocks Paperback / softback

Part of the British Library Women Writers series

Paperback / softback

Description

When her bohemian life in Paris falls flat at the beginning of the First World War, Sally Lunton returns to the care of her guardian in Little Crampton to find a husband.

With some encouragement from the local busybody, she makes a play for Mr Bingley, the bank manager, although she has a rival in Mrs Dalton, a widow with a young daughter to raise.

These two ladies form a quiet alliance, recognising that the prize isn't really worth fighting over but respecting the other's pursuit of financial security.

Sally aims to win but is distracted by her unsettling emotions for a soldier tortured by his experience at the Front. This entertaining novel is full of acute and humorous observations of male and female attitudes to love and marriage.

Sally is a spirited heroine, who is determined to settle into a comfortable life now that she is in her early thirties.

But in securing her future, Sally must also face her past.
