Dorothy Whipple

Dorothy Whipple was a hugely popular British novelist during the 1930s and 1940s whose work fell out of fashion before being rediscovered and championed by Persephone Books. Her novels are sharp, witty observations of middle-class English life. High Wages is her debut novel about a young woman making her way in the world of retail and business in a small northern town. Her audiobooks and books are delightful listening and reading for fans of mid-century fiction and anyone who appreciates a rediscovered classic.
