Synopsis

A charming fairytale with a difference, Mary After the Queen is the memoir of a girl born into a poor family during World War I who grows up--still poor--to find beauty in unexpected places and magic in the most unpromising event. This lighthearted narrative follows the fortunes--and misfortunes--of Mary and her friend Sis who grew up together in a subsidized housing project in Stratford-upon-Avon. We share their laughter and their disillusionments and gain, along the way, a unique look at the world of English factory workers in the 1930's and 40's and the lives, hearts, and minds, of the women who worked there--the girls that "never did get on."
