'Lynne Reid Banks' compassionate first novel examines the stigma of unmarried motherhood in pre-pill, pre-Abortion Act Britain... While the social climate has changed drastically since publication, a transgressive frisson still crackles from the pages' The Guardian 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.

Betty is a mature senior, and she sees no problem in dating a teacher. Bill has his doubts, but although he tries to resist her, he is overwhelmed by irrational feelings of love. As the photography teacher Bill has access to a valuable antique camera left to the school a generation ago by a student.
