Welcome to Litsy!

Belinda Leyton lives with her fiancé's mother and grandmother.
All are in mourning for the son who died.
Belinda though very much in love with her intended is ready to move on.
She doesn't want to just be a surplus girl.
So she starts a business course to be independent and bring in a little more money for the family.
But through her new work placement she meets Richard Carson and Gabriel Linkworth.
Both men are destined to change her life...

Despite their reputation as the ‘roaring twenties‘, they were actually incredibly tough times to live through: the book reminds us that so many people who had lost their loved ones and there were families living in desperate poverty. It is, then, thought-provoking and interesting.

During the first World War Belinda Leyton loses her fiance, it is now 1922 and she stills lives with the shadow of her loss so is a "Surplus girl," trying to make ends meet at a factory until she tries her hand at joining a business school to become a secretary.
But there she meets two men Richard Carson and Gabriel Linkworth and both will change her life forever.
This was so good, a highly enjoyable story of life after the war.
