Summary

Set in London in 1961, a city caught between the drab, post-war 50's, and the glamorous, more liberated 60's. Jenny stands on the brink of becoming a woman; a brilliantly witty, clever and attractive 17 year-old girl whose suburban life of dull family meals, giggling schoolgirls and homework is about to be blown apart by David - older, urbane and unsuitable. He introduces Jenny to an exciting new world of chic dinners, art auctions, smoky clubs and foreign trips. He charms her parents. But just as their long-held dream of Jenny getting into Oxford University seems within reach, another kind of life now tempts her. Is it one that sets her free or traps her? Will David be the making or the undoing of Jenny?
