The Sugar Girls: Tales of Hardship, Love and Happiness in Tate & Lyle's East End
Tales of Hardship, Love and Happiness in Tate &
Lyle s East End Factories On an autumn day in 1944, Ethel Alleyne walked the short distance from her house to Tate &
Lyle s refinery on the shining curve of the Thames
Looking up at the giant gates, Ethel felt like she had been preparing for this moment all her life
She smoothed down her frizzy hair, scraped a bit of dirt off the corner of her shoe and strode through
She was quite unprepared for the sight that met her eyes In the years leading up to and after the Second World War thousands of women left school at fourteen to work in the bustling factories of London s East End
Despite long hours, hard and often hazardous work, factory life afforded exciting opportunities for independence, friendship and romance
Of all the factories that lined the docks, it was at Tate and Lyle s where you could earn the most generous wages and enjoy the best social life, and it was here where The Sugar Girls worked
Through the Blitz and on through the years of rationing The Sugar Girls kept Britain sweet
The work was back-breakingly hard, but Tate &
Lyle was more than just a factory, it was a community, a calling, a place of love and support and an uproarious, tribal part of the East End
From young Ethel to love-worn Lillian, irrepressible Gladys to Miss Smith who tries to keep a workforce of flirtatious young men and women on the straight and narrow, this is an evocative, moving story of hunger, hardship and happiness
Tales of adversity, resilience and youthful high spirits are woven together to provide a moving insight into a lost way of life, as well as a timeless testament to the experience of being young and female

Praise for "A Greyhound of a Girl'sTARRED REVIEW "A warm, witty, exquisitely nuanced multigenerational story." -"Kirkus Reviews," starred review STARRED REVIEW "This elegantly constructed yet beautifully simple story, set in Ireland and spun with affection by Booker Prize-winner Doyle, will be something different for YA readers
These four lilting voices will linger long after the book is closed." -"Booklist," starred review STARRED REVIEW "Written mostly in dialogue, at which Doyle excels, and populated with a charming foursome of Irish women, this lovely tale is as much about overcoming the fear of death as it is about death itself." -"Publishers Weekly," starred review "In this moving and artfully structured ghost tale, four generations of Irish women come together
A big part of the pleasure here is the rhythm of the language and the contrasting voices of the generations
Any opportunity to read it aloud would be a treat." -"Horn Book" "For children grieving the death of a parent or grandparent, this book provides comfort." -"Library Media Connection" Award: Capitol Choices 2013 - Noteworthy Titles for Children and Teens Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC) Choices 2013 list - Young Adult Fiction USBBY Outstanding International Books List 2013
