This delightful novel describes the post-war summer of 1946 - and follows the
growing-up of three young women in the months between leaving school and
taking up their scholarships at university. Una Vane, whose widowed mother
runs a hairdressing salon in her front room ('Maison Vane Glory - Where
Permanent Waves are Permanent'), goes bicycling with Ray, the boy who delivers
the fish and milk. Hetty Fallowes struggles to become independent of her
possessive, loving, tactless mother. And Lieselotte Klein, who had arrived in
1939 on a train from Hamburg, uncovers tragedy in the past and magic in the
present.
Rooted in the north of England, THE FLIGHT OF THE MAIDENS is peopled with
extraordinary characters, who are evoked with all the humour, compassion and
eye for detail that mark Jane Gardam as one of Britain's most gifted and
original novelists.
