Westwood
- VINTAGE
Set in wartime Highgate, Westwood tells the story of Margaret Steggles, a plain bookish girl whose mother has told her that she is â€˜not the type that attracts men.â€™ What she lacks for in looks she makes up for with a romantic nature and cultural aspirations. By contrast, Margaretâ€™s best friend, Hilda, has a sunny temperament and is effortlessly attractive.

When Margaret finds a ration book in Hampstead Health the playwright Gerard Challis enters both their lives. Challis is delighted with his own work and lines such as, â€˜Suffering is the anvil upon which the crystal sword of integrity is hammeredâ€™. He has no use for humour. Margaret slavishly adores Challis and his artistic circle; Challis idolizes Hilda for her hair, her eyes and Hilda findâ€™s Gerardâ€™s romantic overtures a bit of a bind. This is a delightful wistful tale of romantic entanglements and self-reliance.
