1896. Tirzah, Sophia and Polly are best friends who’ve left boarding school and gone back to very different lives. Polly is teaching in an orphanage.

"An addictive, romantic epistolary novel" * Guardian * "I loved this book. An unputdownable friendship story told in letters so vivid and immersive that I felt like joining in with the correspondence" -- Hilary McKay "Building on her previous historical fiction exploring the restrictions on women in society, the award-winning, always-excellent Sally Nicholls moves to the late Victorian era... This immersive, uplifting book is an absolute delight" * Irish Times * "With great affection and sympathy, these winning heroines forge their own paths in this highly readable, tautly paced work" -- starred review * Publishers Weekly * "The novel is heart-warming, intelligent and exciting, and thoroughly recommended for girls (and boys) hovering on the cusp of adolescence. I loved it" -- Philip Womack * Literary Review *
