“The authoress, a Southend-on-Sea schoolmistress, has dealt with the problem of the slum-bred ATS girl [Lily Holmes], who, after six years of decent living conditions in the Services [during the war], finds herself on demobilisation back where she began. We meet the girl after her return home, when revolt against cramped living conditions, a drunken father, and rotten neighbours has become he most important thing in her life.” – ‘Chit Chat’, The Stage 1^st January 1948 (page 8)
