Oxford in the 1950s. Sixteen-year-old, Ann has just finished a course in office skills and is looking for work. She is soon hired by Morris Motors in the Motoring magazine office, at the Nuffield Press, Cowley. There she meets Rita and Barbara and we follow the daily routine of life for these three young women. Ann works for personable, but unpleasant, Paul Parrot. As time passes, her dislike for him grows. She joins Rita's dramatic society. Then Ann meets Gerald, and becomes besotted by him. Ann s widowed father brings home a prospective new mother, who is only eight years her senior. Devastated, Ann lets Gerald make love to her. She is then ditched by him. Later, she discovers she is expecting his child. Ann, Rita and Barbara all have problems that the reader can relate to. We follow their progress as they each meet potential partners and fall in and out of love. Domestic relations are also strained as in real life.
