In the early 1920s, the Maitland family are still coming to terms with the aftermath of the Great War. After her work as an ambulance driver and nurse close to the Front, Pips is now restless and without purpose in her life. She seeks excitement in the frenetic London of the ''Roaring Twenties'', but finds that only the thrill of driving on Brooklands race-track can blot out her horrific memories and help her to forget her broken love affair. Her beloved brother Robert, has his own demons to battle. Happily married to Alice and with a daughter Daisy, he believes that the loss of his right arm in the war has ended his career as a doctor. |
