In 1970s Northeast England, best friends Polly and April are
sitting up a tree, whispering about periods and swapping their hazy
knowledge of the facts of life. They both expect to have families
one day - it's the normal script to follow, isn't it? But, as they
grow up, education and career become important, too, and they
believe that they can have it all. Of course, the time has to be
right...When, some years later, Polly settles with Jack, her career
has taken off and she feels torn over whether or not to try for a
baby. Has she left it too late? Did she have any control over that
choice? Should she wait until they fix the roof of their damp flat?
After repeated miscarriage and chronic illness take their toll,
Polly and Jack have to face a very tough decision. As Polly looks
back on her own expectations and those of her parents and
grandparents, she has to confront what family means in a society
where 'family' usually means 'children'.
