1957, the suburbs of south east London.
Jean Swinney is a journalist on a local paper, trapped in a life of duty and disappointment from which there is no likelihood of escape.
When a young woman, Gretchen Tilbury, contacts the paper to claim that her daughter is the result of a virgin birth, it is down to Jean to discover whether she is a miracle or a fraud.
As the investigation turns her quiet life inside out, Jean is suddenly given an unexpected chance at friendship, love and - possibly - happiness.
But there will, inevitably, be a price to pay.

Маленькие удовольствия
Исторический роман английской писательницы Клэр Чемберс «Маленькие удовольствия» на языке оригинала. Роман «перемещает» читателя в Лондон середины двадцатого века. Книга рассказывает историю о любви, дружбе, сострадании и принятии. Книга читается на одном дыхании. Автор романа красиво и искусно описывает различные детали.
Книга в мягкой обложке, подойдет для читателей, владеющих английским языком на продвинутом уровне.
