Moving back through the 1940s, through air raids, blacked out streets, illicit liaisons, to end with its beginning in 1941, this is the story of four Londoners - three women and a young man with a past.
Kay, who drove an ambulance during the war and lived life at full throttle, now dresses in mannish clothes and wanders
the streets with a restless hunger, searching ...Helen, clever, sweet, much-loved, harbours a painful secret ...Viv, glamour girl, is stubbornly, even
foolishly loyal, to her soldier lover ...Duncan, an apparent innocent, has had his own demons to fight during the war. Their lives, and their secrets are connected.
