"Every writer can tell you that a book is only truly alive when it finds passionate readers who bring it alive in their imaginations."

Between the postwar fifties - domesticity, people happy to be alive after the Second World War, wanting to build a home, make a family, make a nest. Women were pushed back into the home after having been active in the Second World War. It was a big Doris Day moment for women, which didn't suit all women.
