Maeve and her best friends Eoife and Caroline have just graduated highschool. They actually won’t get their final grades for several months. So they have time to wait and spend together in their hometown. It’s the last summer before they go off to different colleges. The girls decide to get jobs at a factory making shirts together. It’s a hard job and it doesn’t pay much. It’s also their first experience with Catholic and Protestants side by side. It’s an interesting opportunity for everyone to try to get to know each other as people.
It’s especially important to Maeve as she’s planning to go to England. She’s trying to get along with people different than her.
They have a sleazy boss that made me uncomfortable for the girls every time he was around.
Maeve also has an extra incentive to leave: her sister died a few years ago and the sadness of her death is such a huge part of her life with her family. Maeve needs some distance from it.
I found Maeve to be a feisty character with a heck of a mouth on her lol I really loved her best friend Eofie and her co-worked Fidelma.
