This is the 50th anniversary edition of Lynne Reid banks classic and it is still as fresh and moving as it was 50 years ago. Times may have changed and the stigma attached to being an unmarried mother maybe different now but the sense of abandonment and of also finding independence and self respect still ring true throughout life.

Pregnant by accident, kicked out of home by her father, 27-year-old Jane Graham goes to ground in the sort of place she feels she deserves - a bug-ridden boarding-house attic in Fulham. She thinks she wants to hide from the world, but finds out that even at the bottom of the heap, friends and love can still be found, and self-respect is still worth fighting for.
