Bought from a vending machine at Gatwick Airport in February, just for the sheer joy of the fact that a book vending machine exists. Chick-lit, set in the 60s, dark in places, but an enjoyable read - I'd have read it sooner but I lent to to my mum to read on the way home, so didn't get it back til we saw them near Easter. Sometimes it's nice to have something a bit page-turnery and not too mentally challenging. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique

When Fifi moves to London with her bricklayer boyfriend Dan, her mother is outraged. Despite initial feelings of horror at her new surroundings, Fifi finds the freedom from her middle-class family background exhilarating. Insatiably inquisitive, Fifi is fascinated by her new neighbours and wants to know what goes on behind all those shabby front doors. Why is Yvette, the French dressmaker, such a hermit? Why doesn't widower Frank join his daughter and grandchildren in Australia? And why doesn't the formidable and well-bred Miss Diamond move somewhere smarter? But most of all she is ghoulishly fascinated by the Muckles who live opposite in terrible squalor. She listens to their violent quarrels, watches their ill-treated and wretchedly unhappy children, and is appalled by all she sees. When Fifi tries to help the Muckles' youngest child, who has been physically abused by her father, Fifi unwittingly unleashes a chain of events which will not only bring heart ache to her and Dan, but terrible danger to all the inhabitants of Dale Street.
