Présentation de l'éditeur :
From the author of Old Filth and The Man in the Wooden Hat
It is the summer of 1946, a time of clothing coupons and food rations, of postwar deprivations and social readjustment. In this precarious new era, three young women prepare themselves to head off to university and explore the world beyond Yorkshire, England. The bookish Hetty Fallowes struggles to become independent of her overbearing mother, Una Vane embarks on a bicycle trip around the countryside with a young man from the wrong side of the tracks, and Liselotte Klein, a Jewish refugee taken in by a Quaker family, heads to London in search of her only relatives to survive the Nazis.
As the three struggle to find meaning and love in a new world, they realize that they still have much to learn, and that their friendship is perhaps the only constant in an ever-changing world.

Praise for The Flight of the Maidens
"Splendid...Gardam's style is perfect."
—The New York Times Book Review
"Gardam at her best."
—The Guardian
"Gardam frames her story in dozens of crisp, brief scenes featuring deliciously dizzy
conversation."
—Kirkus Reviews (Starred)
"All characters, major and minor, are superbly developed and convincing. The portrait of
postwar England as conventions crumble and the country that is rebuilt is terrific, drawn by a writer whose attention to detail recreates, lovingly and with bright flashes of wit, another time and place."
—Publisher's Weekly (Starred)
"Gardam is a lovely writer: her prose is crisp but capable of both drama and poetry, sometimes together."
—Open Letters Monthly
