About this title

Synopsis

To live in the shadows or join her generation in the bright lights of 1925 – this is Caroline’s dilemma as she stands on the edge of turning twenty-one.

After negotiating a small allowance from her father for the following year, Caroline resolves to accept any invitations that might come her way, principally from her two old school friends. She becomes a photographer’s assistant, but a threat of a scandal means she is forced to leave. Concerned that she won’t meet the terms of her father’s allowance, Caroline secures another position enabling her to mix more with the lower classes, to her mother’s exasperation.

Caroline’s adventures continue, taking her across the country and into contact with some colourful characters. Will she end the year with money in the bank? Or will she give up her new freedom and settle down with one of her admirers?

A gentle coming of age tale, the first in the series, set in the English town of Cheltenham. Perfect for readers who like to invest in characters without self-inserting, with strong women who don't always realise how strong they are. If you enjoyed The House of Elliot, you will love this series.
