Sandie Shaw and the millionth Marvell cooker

Sandie Shaw and the millionth Marvell cooker

Wendy Robertson

About this book

In the summer of 1965, when rock and roll music fills the dance halls and a new era is dawning, the Marvell factory in Grafton is buzzing with life. Could it be because singing sensation Sandie Shaw is coming to town? Or maybe its because, for some of the factory workers, even bigger events are taking place off the clock ... There's the general manager and his young nave mistress, the elegant secretary carrying a hidden burden, the immigrant workers making a new life in a new land, and for innocent student Cassandra her summer on the production line teaches her more than she ever imagined. As the sound of the Sixties sings out from the factory Tannoy, the extraordinary stories behind the lives of the workers within unfold.
