Brixton, 1926. Mabel Hemworth rules her home and husband with a rod of iron. She expects others to follow her ‘nice' example of domestic life. But this rule-bound world is turned upside down by the arrival of Frances, a new lodger who holds modern views about what life can offer. And Mabel's own sister, the mercenary Gwen, a typist obsessed with the cinema, has her own plans to escape. Independence, romance and a life beyond stifling suburbia beckon. The consequences will be life-changing for everyone...
