Frances, vingt-six ans, promise à un avenir de vieille fille revêche, habite une grande maison dans une banlieue paisible de Londres avec sa mère. Pour payer leurs dettes, elles doivent sous-louer un étage. L''arrivée de Lilian et de Leonard Barber, tout juste mariés, va bousculer leurs habitudes mais aussi leur sens des convenances. Frances découvre, inquiète et fascinée, le mode de vie des nouveaux arrivants : rires, éclats de voix, musique du gramophone fusent à tous les étages. Une relation inattendue entre Frances et Lilian va bouleverser l''harmonie qui régnait dans la maison. Dans les bras de Lil, Frances découvre des plaisirs qu''elle croyait interdits, et les deux jeunes femmes songent bientôt à tout quitter pour vivre ensemble. Mais lorsque Lil découvre qu''elle est enceinte...

Ce livre vous tiendra éveillé toute la nuit et vous laissera avec un sentiment de manque terrible.» Entertainment Weekly
