About the Book

She got up, without meeting his eyes, and went into the bedroom to dress. That was life all over; you wanted to make a good exit, and you remembered you were still in your housecoat.

Single girl Liza leaps into an exciting new sexual relationship with Walter after the couple meet at a New Year's party. Written by Angela Milne, the niece of A. A. Milne, and originally published in 1942, the story shines a light on subtly changing societal attitudes and deftly captures Liza's euphoria and frustrations as she navigates a relationship outside of marriage. Warm, witty and surprising, it leaves you wondering why Milne only wrote one novel.



About the Author :

Angela Milne (19091990) was the niece of A A Milne. She was a regular and highly regarded contributor to Punch and is remembered for the best-selling Jam and Genius, one of two collections of her Punch pieces. One Year's Time is her only novel, published in 1942.



Review :
"Milne gives us many different portraits of female life and choices available to women in the immediate pre-war-world. She does quick sketches brilliantly - another secretary, Miss Derry, having to choose between her mother and moving to Burma with her fiancée, for example - and her descriptions of daily routine are made up of small observations about boredom which help us see exactly why Liza falls for the debonair Walter. Structured into four seasonal sections, the year stretches out. It's a fascinating capture of a period in time (which is one of the many things I love about the choices made by the publishers of this series)." --Books and Wine Gums

"From a social history point of view this book was a real eye-opener for me as we've always been told that the introduction of the Pill in the late 1960s had led to the permissive society, but it seems that there was always a lot more 'illicit' sex going on than I would have thought." --Pining for the West
