Tenement Girl

1935, Edinburgh: Beautiful Lindsay 'Lindy' Gillian is determined to look on the bright side in spite of the Depression: she is lucky enough to have 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.

There is also dear Neil, a young writer from the same tenement, whom she has known for years. But when handsome Roderick Connor walks into the shop one day, Lindy's world is turned upside down. Soon she has a difficult choice to make between the two men - but once made, will she live to regret it?

A new arrival, unexpected opportunities and war clouds in the shape of the Spanish Civil War on the horizon all have unforeseen repercussions, leading to much soul-searching and heartache before Lindy can hope to find lasting happiness.
