I very much enjoyed this historical fiction that takes place during WWI in Oxford. Peggy and her twin Maude live on a houseboat and work in a bookbinders. It‘s from Peggy‘s point of view, and with her we learn about how books were made at the time (are they still? I imagine the process has changed a lot), volunteer in a makeshift hospital for war victims, and attempt to win a college scholarship in a time poor women didn‘t get to go often. ⬇️
