What is The Dressmaker [The Secret Glass] about?

The mundane and the macabre collide in Beryl Bainbridge’s darkly comic tale about the shockingly unexpected consequences of a young girl’s heartbreak."The book I wish I'd written . . . Witty, chilling, every word in place." - Hilary Mantel, The Guardian Wartime Liverpool is a place of ration books and jobs in munitions factories. Seventeen-year-old Rita, living with her two aunts Nellie and Margo, is emotionally naïve and withdrawn. When she meets Ira, an American soldier, at a neighbour’s party, she falls in love almost as much with the idea of life as a GI bride as with the man himself. But Nellie and Margo are not nearly so blind..."A little triumph of economy, with pent thoughts and cramped emotions that whisper frantically on when the book is shut." - The GuardianDame Beryl Margaret Bainbridge DBE was primarily known for her works of psychological fiction, often set among the English working classes. Bainbridge won the Whitbread Award twice and was nominated for the Booker Prize five times.
