Ann Veronica Stanley rebels against the expectations for a respectable young woman in prewar suburban middle-class Britain, trying hard to think for herself and find a place for herself in the world that hasn't been decided for her by other people. The book goes in some unexpected and interesting directions. One thing she discovers is that high-minded ideals of independence aren't enough without the economic wherewithal to back them up.
