In her daring first novel, originally published in 1947, Barbara Comyns' unique young heroine relates the vivid, funny and bittersweet story of a childhood подробнее

Virago Our Spoons Came From Woolworths Comyns Barbara
Pretty, unworldly Sophia is twenty-one years old and hastily married to a young painter called Charles.
