...Cusak & Florence James is? semi-autobiographical?
The story is set in Sydney, Australia, during the wartime years and weaves the tale of 3 women, who all work in a beauty parlour in a motel, catering to the idle rich.
It brings together themes such as: sexual hypocrisy, illegal abortions, vice rackets, along with the effect of US servicemen deployed in Sydney during the war.
The book caused quite a stir when it was first published in the 1950's.
