«Swansea Girls» is the romantic and historical novel by Catrin Collier, published by Orion Publishing in paperback (496 pages, in English).
On Saturdays, the Pier Ballroom in Swansea brings together young people with different lives: Lily, an evacuee no one claimed at the end of the war; Judy, raised by a widowed mother who taught her to be independent; Katie, daughter of an alcoholic and violent father; and Helen, spoiled and stubborn. The dance awakens jealousy and also friendships, confidences, and romance.
First installment of the Swansea Girls saga, originally published in 2002 and set in Swansea (Wales) after the Second World War.
For readers of historical romance and family sagas, with female characters who must make their way in postwar Britain.
