----

West London, 1958. 73 Dove Street is a shabby house in a shabby street.

But this boarding house’s attic room suits newcomer Edie Budd very well.

It’s somewhere to hide.

Tommie, on the second floor, is up in Soho every night.

There’s a man she’s pursuing –

whether he wants her or not.

Landlady Phyllis has thrown out her cheating husband.

She’s burned his belongings in the street.

Sometimes there’s no going back.

Three survivors living under one roof.

Each alone nursing their secret hurts – and hopes.

Because opening your heart could save or destroy you...
