This story is about in Edwardian England, in and across the seaside city of Hastings. I preferred Violet’s character and her chaotic life, particularly her persistence with an early Remington typewriter. There are a number of different likeable girls that added to the enjoyment of the story. The narrative was entertaining, not in a laugh-out-loud means, however it did depart me smiling once I had completed studying.
