| Summary |
"In February 1959, Switzerland held a referendum on women's suffrage. The men voted ';no'.In this powerful novella, Clare O'Dea explores that day through the eyes of four very different Swiss women. Vreni is a busy farmer's wife, longing for a break from family life. Her grown-up daughter Margrit is carving out an independent life in Bern, but finds herself trapped in an alarming situation. Esther, a cleaner, is desperate to recover her son who has been taken into care. Beatrice, a hospital administrator, has been throwing herself into the ';yes' campaign. The four women's paths intersect on a day that will leave its mark on all their lives."-- Provided by Freading. |
