Margaret-Rose Bennett, like her elder sister, Elizabeth, was named after an English princess. But Elizabeth is dead, and Margaret-Rose is aware that there is something unspoken in her family. For against the odd, strained English household she inhabits in 1950s New Zealand the truth is elusive. So Margaret-Rose maps out a course of her own: she studies at university and makes friends with the wayward Emily and the enigmatic Prudence. By day, they work in a government office and study hard for their degrees; by night they sing, drink and laugh with a group of people very different from themselves. The love and the music of those nights is etched into their hearts forever, and the girls discover a new, enchanting world, one with an underbelly of struggle, colour, passion and hidden violence. A world, perhaps, not so far removed from Margaret-Rose's own secret history ... * 'Rich, vivid and interesting ... with a plot that has a ring of verisimilitude and plenty of fascinating detail' TIMES METRO 'Ewing has a light touch, and a vivid sense of era, with its swirly skirts, box brownies and the last trams home' SUNDAY TIMES 'Crackles with sexual frisson and political intrigue' WOMAN'S JOURNAL 'A beautiful and profoundly moving novel' WOMAN AND HOME
