Manchester, 1922Molly Watson has had enough. Engaged for the last three years to a penny-pinching pedant, she finally decides she' d rather be a surplus girl than marry a man she doesn' t truly love. Aware of the need to support herself if she is to remain single all her life, she joins a secretarial class to learn new skills, and a whole world opens up to her. When she gets a job at St Anthony' s Orphanage, she befriends caretaker Aaron Abrams. But a misunderstanding leaves them at loggerheads, and damages her in the eyes of the children she has come to care so deeply about. Can she recover her reputation, her livelihood, and her budding friendship, before it' s too late?
A promising start to a new saga set in the years between the wars. . . An enjoyable read full of good friends and bad characters. * People' s Friend on the Surplus Girls * A real page-turner that will tug on your heart strings -- Anna Jacobs on ' The Surplus Girls' Pleasant and engaging * NB Magazine on The Surplus Girls *
