But in Sydney in the 1950s, there's always time to pursue other goals... Patty, in her mid-thirties, has been working at Goode's for years. She's married to Frank, who eats a steak for dinner every night, watches a few minutes of TV, and then turns in, leaving Patty to her own thoughts. She wants a baby, but Frank is always too tired for that kind of thing. Sweet Fay wants to settle down with a nice man, but somehow nice men don't see her as marriage material. The glamorous Magda runs the high-end gowns department. A Slovenian émigré who met her Hungarian husband in a refugee camp, Magda is clever and cultured. She finds the Australians to be unfashionable, and dreams of opening her own boutique one day. Lisa, a teenager awaiting the results of her final exams, takes a job at Goode's for the holidays. She wants to go to university and secretly dreams of being a poet, but her father objects to both notions. Magda takes Lisa under her wing, and by the time the last marked-down dress has been sold, all of their lives will be forever changed" --   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status   Aina Haina Public Library Adult Fiction St. John (pbk) Checked In Add Copy to MyList Ewa Beach P/S Library Adult Fiction St. John   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hanapepe Public Library Adult Fiction St. John Historical Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Adult Fiction St. John   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Fiction St. John   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Fiction St. John   Item being held Add Copy to MyList Keaau P/S Library Adult Fiction St. John pbk Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kealakekua Public Library Adult Fiction St. John   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Liliha Public Library Adult Fiction St. John   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Fiction St. John   Checked In Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 Next
