About this Item

Paperback. The girls - Rube, Lily and Sylvie - work at McCrindle's sweet factory during the week and on Saturday they go up the Junction in their clattering stilettos, think about new frocks on H.P., drink tea in the cafe, and talk about their boyfriends. In these uninhibited, spirited vignettes of young women's lives in the shabby parts of South London in the sixties, money is scarce and enjoyment to be grabbed while it can. Published in 1963, Up the Junction won the John Llewellyn Rhys Memorial Prize and was adapted into a film. It also inspired a song of the same name. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
