The sequel to The L-Shaped Room. Jane has had her baby and is living alone with him in the country cottage she inherited from her late, non-conformist Aunt Addy. Her idyllic time there is soon complicated by the arrival of Toby, the love of her life, and her friend Dorothy. The two women start up a shop in the village, and it is their changing fortunes and feelings for the men on whom so much of their lives are staked which form the core of this novel. Readers new to this author will find it dated - The L-Shaped Room was written and set in the early 60s, when cultural and societal beliefs about many things, including single mothers, were vastly different. But kept in context, both books, together with the third, Two Is Lonely, can form a very interesting and educational trio of life in the 60s.
