Thoroughly enjoyed this. Set in 1920, against a backdrop of the continuing trauma of the Great War, 4 of the first young ladies to matriculate at Oxford in 1920,  strive to get an education while facing prejudice on many fronts. They form a strong bond despite their varying backgrounds. It’s about education, feminism and the ripples created by war- 3 of my favourites.
