Summary: Superbly evoking life in Sydney and London in the 1930's, this novel is the story of the intelligent and determined Teresa Hawkins, who believes in passionate love and yearns to experience it. She focuses her energy on Jonathon Crow, an unlikeable and arrogant man, whom she follows to London after four long years working in a factory and living at home with her loveless family. Reunited with Crow in London, she begins to realise that perhaps he is not as worthy of her affections as originally thought and abandons her idealised vision of love for something quite different. -- Cover
