I thought this was very good. A thriller, gay female love story/ romance.
A young girl Nadine is moved into a Bristol flat by her boyfriend/pimp. The flat has an elderly sitting tenant Enid whose sexuality isn’t explicit (or indeed particularly defined); she had a gay affair during or just after the war and her lover was killed by a jealous female rival.
Nadine is shipped off to London to service a Government minister with obscure tastes; she doesn’t comply but they get on.
She escapes back to Bristol where Enid has been thrown down the stairs by her pimp; Nadine and the pimp flee to Finland where he comes from, but she abandons him and returns to Enid in Bristol, where they are going to be protected and supported by the MP.
Very good and very different.
