The social constraints of the era — what love looks like when the community sets the rules; the small-town world
What this book is about
Set in a small seaside town in Essex in the early 1960s, Foreign Fruit follows the lives of several women at a time when social rules were rigid and the world outside seemed impossibly far away. An unexpected romance challenges the social order. One of Jojo Moyes's earlier novels — gentler in tone than her later work, deeply rooted in English community and the particular constraints of the era.
