Synopsis
In 1939 Hortense,
illegitimate but intelligent and ambitious, is
brought up on Jamaica with the family of
charismatic, free-thinking Michael, who joins the
Air Force when war breaks out and goes to England.
After the war, Hortense, now a qualified teacher,
makes a marriage of convenience to Gilbert Joseph,
paying for his passage to England on condition he
sends for her. She not only hopes to see Michael
again but believes that living in Britain will
give her more scope. When she arrives in London in
1948, she is extremely disappointed by the one
room in which they must live and the obvious
colour prejudice. Queenie, their liberal landlady,
is also a woman used to disappointment, marrying
decent but dull and sexless Bernard to get her
away from the family farm. Whilst Bernard - now
presumed missing - was in the Air Force during the
war, she first took in lodgers from the armed
forces, partly for the company, including Michael,
with whom she had
sex. | | |
