Without any spoilers.Here are Becky's thoughts. But the First World War is about to begin, and will change Opal’s life for ever.īecky has read it from cover to cover.If she doesn't like a book after the first few pages she will put it down and not pick it up again so for her to read it all means she really enjoyed it. And when Opal meets Morgan – Mrs Roberts’ handsome son, and the heir to Fairy Glen – she believes she has found her soulmate. But Opal idolises Mrs Roberts, the factory’s beautiful, dignified owner, who introduces Opal to the legendary Mrs Pankhurst and her fellow Suffragettes. Opal struggles to get along with the other workers, who think her snobby and stuck-up. Yet her scholarship and dreams of university are snatched away when her father is sent to prison, and fourteen-year-old Opal must start work at the Fairy Glen sweet factory to support her family. Opal Plumstead might be plain, but she has always been fiercely intelligent.
