Sally Nicholls writes for young teens and YA. This, her latest book is a treat. Set in the 1890’s three friends (all girls, all in their late teens) write to each other now they have left school - their hopes, fears, frustrations. Through their letters we get a glimpse of different aspects of the society of the times. It is a neat, engaging package – and there is romance. Think Daddy Longlegs by Jean Webster.
