Jane Evans is a consultant psychologist and the impetus to write this novel came mainly from poignant memories of her own childhood experiences in South Wales during the 1950s and 1960s as well as her clinical work over the decades with adults and children. The three main female characters are a blend of many people she has encountered along life's journey. Her ambition has always been to write a novel about the transitions and personal struggles of ordinary people reflected by a particular decade.
In the countryside of Wales during the postwar era, one's childhood was not all that innocent.
