Private – Keep Out by Gwen Grant

Description

A forgotten classic brought back into print for the first time in decades . Set in a northern mining town in 1948, a tough and spirited girl is practising to become a writer when she grows up, but it’s hard work  when there’s no privacy in a house with six kids and there’s no time, especially if you have to go to school and to dancing class (and wear frilly knickers) and Sunday school (and sing about being a sunbeam).  176pp
