Light and informative reading about women studying at Oxford in the aftermath of WW1. 
Lovely cast of characters even if some are more fleshed out than others. 
I like when historical fiction features real-life people.  

For any rowing fans: despite the beautiful cover, there is very little rowing in the book.
