That life seems to arrive when Stanislaus, an Austrian aristocrat, sweeps Ada off her feet and brings her to Paris. When war breaks out, Stanislaus vanishes, and Ada is taken prisoner by the Germans, she must do everything she can to survive: by becoming dressmaker to the Nazi wives. Abandoned and alone as war rages, the choices Ada makes will come to back to haunt her years later, as the truth of her experience is twisted and distorted after the war. From glamorous London hotels and Parisian cafes to the desperation of wartime Germany, here is a mesmerizing, richly textured historical novel, a story of heartbreak, survival and ambition, of the nature of truth, and the untold story of what happens to women during war.\"--Publisher.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/mary-chamberlain-books\"\u003eMary Chamberlain\u003c\/a\u003e (all their books in stock)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Borough Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780007591558\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Borough Press","offers":[{"title":"Poor Condition — £1.00","offer_id":47908345053361,"sku":"SB-0007591551-C4","price":1.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/2669\/5345\/files\/0007591551.jpg?v=1789151134"},{"product_id":"fen-women-a-portrait-of-women-in-an-english-village-historical-workshop-s","title":"Fen Women: A Portrait of Women in an English Village (Historical Workshop S.)","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/mary-chamberlain-books\"\u003eMary Chamberlain\u003c\/a\u003e (all their books in stock)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1983\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Routledge \u0026amp; Kegan Paul Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0710095678\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Routledge \u0026 Kegan Paul","offers":[{"title":"Standard Secondhand — £7.89","offer_id":47912729903281,"sku":"SB-0710095678-C3","price":7.89,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Poor Condition — £7.39","offer_id":47912729936049,"sku":"SB-0710095678-C4","price":7.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/2669\/5345\/files\/0710095678.jpg?v=1789708933"},{"product_id":"old-wives-tales-their-history-remedies-and-spells","title":"Old Wives' Tales: Their History, Remedies and Spells","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/mary-chamberlain-books\"\u003eMary Chamberlain\u003c\/a\u003e (all their books in stock)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1981\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Virago Press Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0860680169\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Virago","offers":[{"title":"Very Good — £98.90","offer_id":47914642604209,"sku":"SB-0860680169-C2","price":98.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard Secondhand — £98.40","offer_id":47914642636977,"sku":"SB-0860680169-C3","price":98.4,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/2669\/5345\/files\/0860680169.jpg?v=1789291760"},{"product_id":"growing-up-in-lambeth","title":"Growing Up In Lambeth","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book is about family, neighbourhood and class. The author's interest stems in part from her family's own roots in this area of south London. She returns to Lambeth and looks at how women in this area have lived between 1913 and the present. Using oral material, the book tells of childhood and adolescence, marriage and motherhood, keeping house, and of the infinitely ingenious ways working-class people have of circumventing and surviving poverty. It also chronicles the changes, looking at new migrants in the area, and the ways in which traditional means of survival - neighbourliness, street life, extended family ties, the pawnshop - have been eroded at a time of high unemployment and fierce economic hardship. This is a book about survival, about opportunities found and made, however great the material deprivation. Mary Chamberlain is President of the Oral History Society and co-founder of the London History Workshop Centre. From 1977-87 she was senior lecturer in cultural studies at the London College of Printing. She wrote \"Fenwomen\", \"Old Wives' Tales\" and is editor of \"Writing Lives\".\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/mary-chamberlain-books\"\u003eMary Chamberlain\u003c\/a\u003e (all their books in stock)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1989\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 182\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Virago\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780860684435\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Virago","offers":[{"title":"Standard Secondhand — £1.00","offer_id":47914645520561,"sku":"SB-0860684431-C3","price":1.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/2669\/5345\/files\/0860684431.jpg?v=1789442665"},{"product_id":"the-hidden","title":"The Hidden","description":"\u003cp\u003eHer heart died in the war - can she breathe new life into it?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDora Simon and Joe O'Cleary live in separate countries, accepting of their twilight years.
