'Terrific'
FRANCES QUINN
THREE WOMEN. ONE BUILDING. 111 YEARS . . .
East London, 1909. When her family fall on hard times, Ellen finds work in a box factory and is drawn into a tight-knit circle of friendship, one that will transform her life and test her in unexpected ways.
In 1984, the factory is now derelict. Eighteen-year- old Frances moves in with a group of squatters and activists who have taken over the abandoned building. As she tries to build a new life, an unsettling relationship develops, forcing her to question who she is and where her loyalties lie.
In 2020, the squat is now a gentrified conversion in a fashionable corner of the city. Amanda feels trapped in her tiny flat, overwhelmed by the demands of new motherhood and unsure of what the future holds - until the possibility of an alternative life presents itself . . .
From acclaimed author Kate Murray-Browne, One Girl Began is a vibrant, enthralling and moving novel about three women across three very different moments in time, connected by the same building and the forces that shape our lives.©2024 Kate Murray-Browne (P)2024 Orion Publishing Group Limited

Enjoyable to hear 3 stories entwined
I liked hearing the 3 stories in the same locations with people that briefly connect from the 3 eras. Enjoyed the eras that had been picked and the stories that reflected the time.

I thought it would never end.
Well, that's 13 hrs and 55 mins of my life that I won't get back!
This book is about three women over three generations, all linked via a factory.
That's all you need to know; the rest is just fluff.
Buy another book; this one isn't worth your time.
