Synopsis
'The book I wish I'd written . . . Witty, chilling, every word in place' Hilary Mantel, Guardian
Wartime Liverpool is a place of ration books and jobs in munitions factories. Rita, living with her two aunts Nellie and Margo, is emotionally naïve and withdrawn. When she meets Ira, a GI, at a neighbour's party she falls in love as much with the idea of life as a GI bride as with the man himself. But Nellie and Margo are not so blind...

Review
An impressive, haunting book...Like the better Hitchcock films, Beryl Bainbridge suggests a claustrophobic horror (Sunday Times)
A chilly story written by a master hand (The Times)
A little triumph of economy, with pent thoughts and cramped emotions that whisper frantically on when the book is shut (Guardian)
A magnificent book (New York Review of Books)
Book Description
Beryl Bainbridge at her darkly comic best.
