“In How to Be an American Housewife Margaret Dilloway creates an irresistible heroine. Shoko is stubborn, contrary, proud, a wonderful housewife and full of deeply conflicted feelings. I wanted to shake her, even as I was cheering her on, and this cunningly structured novel allowed me to do both. It also took me on two intricate journeys, from post-war Japan and the shadow of Nagasaki to contemporary California, and from motherhood to daughterhood and back again. A profound and suspenseful debut.” TwoWarFeelingsWantedNovelWonderfulJourneyProudShadowProfoundMotherhoodContraryContemporaryPostsCaliforniaShakesJapanCheerStubbornIrresistibleHousewifeBack AgainHeroinesIntricateDebutPost War Author:Margot Livesey

Then the morning's post brought me a letter from a friend, saying I was so this, so that - it made me really cry, I was so grateful.” MadeDifferentFeelingsWishMorningCryFriendsConscienceLettersGratefulPostsClockTroublesomeSo Grateful Author:Kate Greenaway
“the explanation of the ebb and flow of the women's movement ... is partly psychological. During those early post-war years when successes came thick and fast and were almost thrust upon us, the nation was still under the influence of the reconstruction spirit, when everything seemed possible ... A few years later the nation had reached the stage which follows a drinking bout. It was feeling ruefully in its empty pockets. It did not want to part with anything to anybody. Its head ached. Noble sentiments made it feel sick. It wanted only to be left alone.” WantFeelsYearsMadeStillsWarFeelingsWantedSpiritPoliticsLeftNationsFeminismInfluenceStageMovementFlowEmptySickDrinkingNoblePsychologicalMade ItPostsExplanationPocketsSentimentsThickThrustLeft AloneReconstructionEbb And FlowPost WarEmpty Pockets Author:Eleanor Rathbone
