Book description
Recommended by Gayle'A book so delightful I burst into tears on finishing it. Originally published in 1933 and recently rediscovered and reissued by the brilliant Handheld Press, Business as Usual tells the story of Hilary Fane, a young woman from Edinburgh who, in her year of independence before her planned marriage to a busy surgeon, moves to London and gets a job on the Book Floor of an Oxford Street department store. It's all told through her letters home and interdepartmental memos, and it will make you wish you still wrote letters, and lament the fact that, even if you did, they'd never be as witty and charming as Hilary's. If this is all sounding a little whimsical and twee, I promise you it isn't; in between the jolly anecdotes about life on the shopfloor, it touches on the darker aspects of life as a single woman in London - damp, cold digs, making rent, unwanted pregnancies...'
