Write Review

Rated 0

Fiction, Modern & contemporary fiction (post c 1945)

A warm, funny and touching novel about two very different women with one thing in common - both are struggling to find their places in the world

Finn Delaney is a twentysomething woman leading a curious double life. As far as her father Joe is concerned she works in a beauty salon, but when Finn leaves the house every morning she has a very different destination in mind. Widower Joe has tried to turn his little girl into a princess, just like his wife would have wanted. Yet Finn's one ambition is to join her father's construction business and work alongside him. But Joe tells her the building trade is 'no place for a woman', so Finn takes matters into her own hands - with consequences she could never have anticipated...

Gina Tate has been brought up to believe that a woman's job is to look good and say nothing. Years spent trying to please her difficult father and live up to her glamorous family have left her emotionally fragile. Ousted from the family business, she finds herself working for their arch rivals.

Gina and Finn might not have much in common - but they both have something to prove...
