Krátký popis
''Poor Girls is a brave, bold novel... You''ll fall hard for Nell
and the Forty Elephants.'' ARAMINTA HALL''Funny, fast-paced and
dark, Poor Girls is a riveting read, with dialogue that absolutely
crackles and a fabulously unsentimental heroine in Nell.'' ELODIE
HARPERWe were never destined to have anything – so you know what we
did? We took it anyway. 1922. Twenty-year-old Eleanor Mackridge is
horrified by the future mapped out for her – to serve the upper
classes or find a man to marry (preferably kind). She ''proved
useful'' working in a munitions factory during the war – handling
explosives – but now, society is returning to normal and women are
being put back in their place.But Eleanor has never paid attention
to what society expects of her. When she crosses paths with a
member of the notorious female-led gang the Forty Elephants, she is
in awe of these bold women who wear diamonds and fur, drink
champagne and gin, who take what they want without asking. Now, she
sees a new future for herself: she can serve, marry – or
steal.After all, men will only let you down. Diamonds are
forever.In Poor Girls, Clare Whitfield exposes the criminal
underbelly of 1920s London – but this isn''t a morality tale, it''s
an adventure for the willingly wicked.''Wonderfully roguish
characters, and great period detail. Really enjoyable.'' IAN
MOORE''A richly vivid and picaresque masterwork, Poor Girls is by
turns humorous, horrifying and humane.'' TOM MEAD''A real page
turner.'' CAITLIN DAVIES
