I was born in the mid 1960s and spent the first year of my life in the care of Dr Barnardo's. The subject of adoption and how attitudes towards unmarried mothers have changed since the 1960s have, perhaps not surprisingly, always been of particular interest to me. What fascinated me about writing this book was the research into the social attitudes during the period from the late 1950s to the mid-1960s, an era that occupied a curious twilight between the stiff conservatism of the 1950s and the well documented liberal hedonism of the late 1960s. Just a One Night Stand will deftly transport you back to 1963. Using youth culture and the social mores of the time, the book paints a vivid and thought provoking picture of the difficulties faced by a young unmarried mother as she discovers she is pregnant after a one night stand. You'll be glad that the world has moved on.
