Things a Bright Girl Can Do by Sally Nicholls

4.0

Sally Nicholls is a super writer, and in May, Nell and Evelyn, she has created three engaging young women who are part of the Suffragette movement just before WW1. The book explores the impact of the War on their lives, and builds an evocative picture of the time. It ends a little abruptly, in something of a rush, but it is the sort of book that would really have enriched my understanding of the period when I was studying A level and churning my way through dates and impact of legislation. At times, structurally it feels a little disjointed, but there are moments of great power and insight.
