Description
Gems of a generation: the beading girls provides an exciting snapshot of the baby boomer era, historically important because of the introduction of the contraceptive pill. The era is illuminated through fifteen heartwarming and candid stories of unique women who meet each week to make jewellery. Their lives of high flying fame, glittering careers, fortunes made and lost, love, marriage, infidelity and divorce are told candidly. Add the poignant struggles of the single mothers, plus child abuse, adoption and rejection, a rubella baby and abduction ... astonishing threads that make up this compelling book.
