A powerful and moving novel from 1921, about the lives and choices
of modern women, by Canadian author Marjorie Grant. Latchkey ladies
live alone or in shared rooms in London at the end of the First
World War. They are determined to use their new freedoms and tread
a fine line between independence and disaster. Maquita Gilroy is a
Government clerk with a lively sense of self-preservation. Anne
Carey is drifting between jobs, bored of her fiance, and longing
for something to give her life meaning. Then she meets Philip
Dampier, a married man whose plays she admires. Petunia Garry, a
beautiful teenage chorus girl with no background and dubious
morals, is swept up by an idealistic country squire, determined to
mould her into what he wants his wife to be. Gertrude Denby, an
Admiral's daughter and an endlessly patient companion to an
irritating employer, is so very tired of living out her life in
hired rooms. 'Fear woke her in the defenceless hour of dawn. She
sat up in bed and faced it at last, shivering so that her teeth
chattered, but valiant. She was certain that she was going to have
a child.'
