Nostalgic
Set during WW2, it features a group of girls "of slender means" who live in a hostel for young working girls in London. From all walks of life, they share their experiences and the Schiaparelli dress owned by one of them! A picture of a very different lifestyle to that led by girls of a similar age today. Love this book, first read it about 20 years ago, delighted to find it again.
