This book is coming up for my book group discussion; the others in the group have liked it. One reader said it was good but there were quite a few passages that could have been shortened. The book promises to touch on a lot of fascinating topics - women working in the Naval Shipyards, illegal clubs during the war, disability, race relations, unconventional female characters... I found the book so boring, that I felt heroic for actually having made it through the first hundred pages, hoping the story would get more interesting. It didn't. I skimmed through the rest of it, and found the details of Anna's relationship with Dexter unnerving. Would not recommend it.
