Bestselling author

'Spark, as usual, has perfectly plotted and peopled this giddy world of postwar delirium and girls' dormitory life'
Library Journal

It is 1945; a time of cultural and political change, and also one of slender means.

'Long ago in 1945 all the nice people in England were poor, allowing for exceptions' It is 1945: a time of cultural and political change, and also one of slender means. Spark’s evocative and sharply drawn narrative focuses on a group of women living together in a hostel in Kensington who face new challenges in uncertain times. The novel is at once dramatic and character-based and shows Muriel Spark at the height of her literary powers.

'Muriel Spark’s novels linger in the mind as brilliant shards, decisive as a smashed glass is decisive.'
John Updike

'Hard to believe but Miriam is just as good as, if not better than, Maggie.'
Guardian
