Summary

A tale of three young women, a fast friendship, and a summer of life-changing romances in 1950s England . . . In August, 1955, Janice Butler is working as a waitress at her mother's Blackpool boarding house before she heads off to university. Janice's mother prefers to call it a "hotel," in spite of the not-quite-luxurious accommodations-although she is hoping to install one of those new dishwashing machines. When Val and Cissie arrive for a week's vacation from Walker's woolen mill in Halifax, the three young women form an instant friendship. Romance beckons for all three when they attend a local dance at the Winter Gardens-but autumn approaches, they will discover that holiday flings don't always turn into lasting loves, and that life doesn't always turn out as one would expect . .
