Somewhere Like This

Pat Arrowsmith

The blurb on the back:

All girls together…

Collingwood Prison – where the bad girls go. Where the only love and sex available is of one kind. Where every woman is either ‘butch’, ‘fem’ or ‘straight’ – and there aren’t many who are straight.

Somewhere Like This is the story of a group of Collingwood prisoners and their love-affairs: butch Lorry, the young burglar who wishes she’d been born a boy… Mavis, fluffy, feminine and confused… and upper-class Jan who knows exactly how get what – and who – she wants…

Pat Arrowsmith’s novel of life in a women’s prison is remarkable for its honesty; it could only have been written by someone who has observed life ‘inside’ from the inside.
