I have skimmed through this book but haven't read it fully.It looks such an easy read.Even though it is aimed at younger people and young adults I think it may be a great summer read for me too.In fact I do plan to read it over the summer. You never know what is going to happen.Every page you turn there is a new twist.It is so interesting to know more about history.She could relate to Opal and how she seemed shy but would stand up for herself when she had to, just like her.It is romantic and the ending is so sad but so lovely too. Without any spoilers.Here are Becky's thoughts. But the First World War is about to begin, and will change Opal’s life for ever.īecky has read it from cover to cover.If she doesn't like a book after the first few pages she will put it down and not pick it up again so for her to read it all means she really enjoyed it. And when Opal meets Morgan – Mrs Roberts’ handsome son, and the heir to Fairy Glen – she believes she has found her soulmate. But Opal idolises Mrs Roberts, the factory’s beautiful, dignified owner, who introduces Opal to the legendary Mrs Pankhurst and her fellow Suffragettes. Opal struggles to get along with the other workers, who think her snobby and stuck-up. Yet her scholarship and dreams of university are snatched away when her father is sent to prison, and fourteen-year-old Opal must start work at the Fairy Glen sweet factory to support her family. Opal Plumstead might be plain, but she has always been fiercely intelligent.
