London. 1971. This is the diary Sarah Shaw, a 19-year-old secretary, kept that year. She was working in her first job as a secretary at the BBC, and the diary recounts her experiences of office and home life, of living in a shabby hostel in Victoria and of growing up in a fast changing world. But most of all it is the story of her extraordinary romance with an engaging Irishman much older than herself.
Prepare to be gripped by this diary and to delight its warmth and humour. More info and reviews at blog 1971secretsecretarybbc.
