'A book to read in great gulps' Sheila Newberry 'Beautifully written . . . she has a real talent' Mary Gibson Perfect for fans of Daisy Styles and Rosie Clarke. If you loved An Education, Good Girls Revolt and Made in Dagenham then this is for you. It's 1964. England has shaken off its post-war gloom and the world is full of possibilities. Best friends Sandra and Linda live on a housing estate in Essex. They are aspiring mods: they have the music, the coffee bar and Ready Steady Go! on a Friday night. Having landed their first jobs, Linda and Sandra look set. But the world is changing rapidly, and both girls have difficult choices to make. As Sandra blindly pursues a proposal, Linda finds herself drawn to causes she knows are worth fighting for. But when Sandra's quest leads her to local bad boy Danny, she lands both her and Linda in more trouble than they bargained for . . .

MEDIA REVIEWS
A book to read in great gulps -- Sheila Newberry
Beautifully written . . . Elizabeth Woodcraft has a real talent for teasing out all the uncertainties, anxieties and fierce loyalties -- Mary Gibson
I really enjoyed being whisked back to suburban Essex in the 1960s in The Saturday Girls and I am sure that the author has more stories of this fascinating time to share * Jaffa Reads Too *
It's a nice story of self discovery and development...I like that not everything is perfect and the idea of a perfect relationship isn't forced upon you. It's much more relatable * Loubeelou Blogs *
Refreshingly realistic in it;s depiction of young relationships, both romantic and platonic, The Saturday Girls offers a compelling perspective on an age where political and social change felt just around the corner. A comforting yet authentic read * Journal of the Law Society *

“Set Before My Time But Relevant To My Life”

Through out this book, what never failed to fascinate me was this simple fact: I was born in the year 2000, this book is set in the 1960s and yet somehow, Elizabeth Woodcraft was able to craft this novel in such a way... More

“A passage of time”

For me there was no real storyline. It felt like a passage of time, a very long and drawn out diary entry. Elizabeth’s style of writing is ok, easy to read, she has a very good knowledge of the mod era, being that she... More
