Come in Spinner

An acclaimed novel which explores what life on the home-front was like for Australian women in WWII. Come in Spinner was an immediate sensation when it was first published in an abridged version in 1951.

Set in a beauty salon at the Hotel South Pacific in wartime Sydney, it revolves around the life and loves of three women, Deb, Guinea and Claire. Their romantic entanglements are further complicated by the tensions of war, with American troops in 'occupation' and where anything could be obtained – for a price.
