London 1923. The First World War has been over for five years, but its effects are still being felt all round the city. A socialite and politician’s wife prepares for one of her famous parties while, elsewhere in the city, an old friend considers the pain of past and present love and other characters live out the uncertainties and dramas of post war England.
