It is 1924 and twenty-one year old Peg Hallam has come to London from rural Dorset to carve a career for herself in the busy world of Fleet street journalism. She is sharing a fiat with her eldest sister Verity, a hospital nursing sister, who is determined to protect her young charge from the temptations offered by the big city. But Peg is pretty, spirited and adventurous, divided by her loyalty to her family and their strict, conventional morality, and a yearning to experience all that the vast and exciting metropolis has to offer.
