Take three girls: watch as they break from the chrysalis of their convent – and soar. The story of Clare, Pippa and Eleanor and their different rides on the carousel of life.
Pretty Clare Pearson is socially superior and excels academically. Gorgeous Pippa Sidgwick is fey and a dreamer. Plain Eleanor Hamilton hasn’t had quite as good a start in life as her two friends. But then she’s got ambition.
Post-war babies, the girls are surely destined to become swinging Sixties babes. It’s the decade of liberation, endless summers of love and happy hippiedom: to conform to Timothy Leary’s gospel of ‘turn on, tune in, drop out’ is the norm.
As Clare marries her upwardly-mobile accountant and Pippa becomes a Bride of Christ, we wonder will Eleanor remain in purdah or shed the chastity belt of her religion; indeed, will she marry anyone at all.

About the Author:
A deeply nostalgic story that charts the rites of passage and changing fortunes of three convent school friends, their lives forever influenced by the confines of their Catholicism.
Clare is pretty, clever, socially more privileged, and a conformist. She marries well, is sure to lead a happy and successful life. But does she?
Pippa is fey, artistic, and a dreamer. Devout yet unconventional, even though she embraces the religious life she wants to do her own thing in an increasingly tolerant age. But can she?
Eleanor, the sceptic, abandons her religion. More ambitious than her twoclose friends, she becomes a media star. But a fatal mistake at the beginning of her adult life costs her dear. Like everyone else, she wants happiness- but will it elude her?
Linked by a series of class reunions, Nicola Thorne skilfully plots the stories of three very different girls who, as they progress through womanhood, remain so strongly influenced by the past.
Nicola Thorne is the author of a number of well-known novels. Born in South Africa, she was educated at the LSE and now lives in Dorset.
