Description

Joy's story is one of exuberance and heartache, as she navigates young motherhood in 1960s London. With bleached hair, high suede shoes, and a head full of dreams, Joy walks down Fulham Broadway carrying her week-old baby, Jonny.

After a whirlwind romance with Tom, who is sent to prison, Joy must move in with Auntie Emm and confront the consequences of her decisions. Nell Dunn's novel explores the life of a young working-class girl as she navigates love, London life, and the challenges of single parenthood.

First published in 1967, Poor Cow is a poignant tale of one woman's journey through the ups and downs of life, love, and motherhood in the swinging sixties. A film adaptation by Ken Loach completes this enduring story of young adulthood and resilience.
