L-Shaped Room

When she announces that she is pregnant, 27-year-old Jane Graham is turned out by her father and rents a room in the top of a squalid boarding house in Fulham, feeling this is all she deserves. She is rescued by her neighbours: Toby, a Jewish writer, John, a jazz musician and even her landlady.

Jane settles into village life with her baby. When Dottie arrives they put their heads together and come up with a scheme to improve their lives.
