This is the story of four Londoners set during and after WWII. Kay, who drove an ambulance during the war, now dresses in mannish clothes and wanders the streets restlessly searching. Helen, clever, sweet and much-loved, harbours a painful secret. Viv, a glamour girl, is stubbornly, even foolishly, loyal to her soldier lover. Duncan, an apparent innocent, had his own demons to fight during the war. Their lives and their secrets connect in sometimes startling ways. Moving back through the 1940s, through air raids, blacked-out streets, illicit liaisons and sexual adventure, this is a powerful, beautifully book, featuring a central lesbian character who will inspire and move you. Shortlisted for both the Man Booker and the Orange Prizes.
