Like the May of Teck Club building itself--\"three times window shattered since 1940 but never directly hit\"--its lady inhabitants do their best to act as if the world were back to normal, practicing elocution and jostling over suitors and a single Schiaparelli gown. But the novel's harrowing ending reveals that the girls' giddy literary and amorous peregrinations are hiding some tragically painful war wounds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Muriel Spark","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53097928032480,"sku":"9781433220173","price":89.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/5681\/6608\/files\/61wf9j8QhNL._SY522.jpg?v=1781690047","url":"https:\/\/medicalbook.online\/products\/the-girls-of-slender-means","provider":"medicalbook.online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
