1935, Edinburgh. Beautiful Lindsay ‘Lindy’ Gillian is determined to look on the bright side in spite of the Depression: she has a job working for her stepmother at Murchie’s Provisions, and her family reside in one of the nicer flats in a nearby tenement block.

But when Roderick Connor strolls into the shop one day, Lindy has to make a choice that will turn her world upside down, while a new arrival, surprise opportunities and war clouds from Spain on the horizon all have unexpected repercussions . . .
