Summary:

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-affiars: butch Lorry, the younder burglar who wishes she'd been born a boy ... Mavis, fluffy. feminine and confused ... and upper-class Jan who knows exactly how to get what - and who - she wants ... Pat Arrowsmith's novel of life in a women's prison is remarkable for its honest; it could only have been written by someone who has observed life 'inside' from the inside. -- back cover.
