But Opal idolises Mrs Roberts, the factory's beautiful, dignified owner. The best thing about Mrs Roberts?

She's a suffragette!


Opal's world is opened to Mrs Pankhurst, and the fight to give women the right to vote.

And when Opal meets Morgan, Mrs Roberts' handsome son , and heir to Fairy Glen- she believes she's found her soulmate.
But the First World War is about to begin, and will change Opal's life for ever.
A brilliantly gripping wartime story from the bestselling, award-winning Jacqueline Wilson.
