Social Issue Relevance: Teen marriage was mentioned many times in this book. It was also hinted at because Evie is 16 and Peter is 7 years older than her so the option was hinted at. In this time teenage marriage was more common than it is now. Evie’s mother was married at age 17 to Evie’s father who later left after Evie was born. The most common reason for teenage marriage is accidental pregnancy. This was the case for Evie’s mother.

Teenage Marriage: Teenage marriage is most common in poor uneducated countries. Teenage Marriage is used to express love in very few cases because many people think this. Many of these marriages are arranged so the family has fewer mouths to feed, they’re also arranged to finalize business deals. Teenage marriage is usually not about expression of love but merely a mistake or business. [|www.wikipeadia.com] “About the Author” Most of Judy Blundell's stories are under many different names.
