About this book

Unmarried and pregnant, Jane Graham leaves her family home for a shabby rented room in London. As she gets to know the people sharing the house, isolation gives way to friendship, love and a growing sense of independence. Lynne Reid Banks's first novel follows a young woman's effort to build a life beyond the expectations of her family and society.
