In 1902 three young nannies find jobs in well-to-do London households and get to
know each other. Naive farm girl Lydia finds an unfamiliar world both in city
life and with the progressive-thinking family who employs her. Earnest,
rule-abiding Matty is a hard-working East End girl who slowly learns to loosen
up. And, after a tragic affair with the eldest son of a grand Yorkshire family,
Hannah's life in London is full of chilling secrets and grave life-and-death
decisions. |
