Ursula Orange (1909 – 1955) was a mid-20th-century British novelist who is known for focusing her books on the domestic lives and career aspirations of young women.
"[8] Her protagonists tended to be young women of middle-class upbringing who were grappling with the challenges of jobs, children, and romantic entanglements.
Of this book, one critic remarked that the women are deftly drawn with a light comic touch but the male characters are somewhat dimmer.
[9] Tom Tiddler's Ground (1941), Orange's third novel, unfolds during World War II, giving a dark undercurrent to the surface comedy.
Caroline Cameron is witty and charming but not altogether likeable; bored with her spoiled daughter and her smothering husband, she is ready to strike out on her own.
