'Julie Anderson brings to life a fascinating chapter of London history, in which her feisty and hugely likeable female characters once more take centre stage. Completing her successful trilogy, set around the all-female South London Hospital, Festival Days is a fast-paced, thrilling read, opening a window on a shocking issue that sadly remains relevant to this day. Highly recommended.' Heidi Amsinck
