When the sophisticated Innes Kent turns up on her doorstep, Lexie Sinclair realises she cannot wait any longer for her life to begin, and leaves for London. There, at the heart of the 1950s Soho art scene, she carves out a new life. In the present day, Elina and Ted are reeling from the difficult birth of their first child. Elina struggles to reconcile the demands of motherhood with sense of herself as an artist, and Ted is disturbed by memories of his own childhood that don't tally with his parents' version of events. As Ted begins to search for answers, an extraordinary portrait of two women is revealed, separated by fifty years, but connected in ways that neither could ever have expected.

A book which tells two separate, but eventually entwined stories. Set in London, the part of the book set in e late 50s and early 60s paints a vivid picture of post-war London emerging from the austerity into the swinging sixties... The modern story is one of long-lost memories and parenthood....

Certainly worth reading, but wasn't quite the in-depth story I thought it would be.
