### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Over-long and Anachronistic
  

*by M***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 October 2015*

It’s a good job I’ve read many other Kitty Neales and loved them, or else this book would put me off her. In places it reads like a first draft, when you want to get all your thoughts down before editing them. I also don’t know why she set it in the 1980s. At times it feels as though it was supposed to be set in the 1950s and she had changed bits of the dialogue and things to bring it up to the 80s.  There is even mention of someone having a backstreet abortion. Why anyone would have a backstreet abortion in 1988 when it was perfectly free and legal, I don’t know. Also, I’m sure burlesque only made a resurgence in the late 90s, with Dita von Teese. Back in the 80s, clubs were full of footballers, coke and it saw the start of lapdancing.I like that the ending wasn’t obvious, although Penny does seem to get over her feelings pretty quickly. But she is supposed to be a teenager so it could be down to that. This book won’t put me off Kitty Neale because I know she can do much better. I just suggest she sticks to the 1950s and 60s.

Another well written story from Kitty, I don't realise the connection to the sins of the father till near the end and it  subtlety  became clear.

This has been on my kindle for quite a while and I have only just read it, would definitely recommend this book as it was absolutely brilliant.
