Jane Graham is unmarried and pregnant when she is turned out of her comfortable suburban home by an angry father. She lights dejectedly on a bug-ridden room at the top of a squalid house in Fulham. She cares nothing for it, or herself, or her neighbours. But it is these neighbours, by their unaffected kindness, that draw her back into life - Toby, a Jewish writer, John, a negro jazz-player, and even her tyrannical landlady.

And in the L-shaped room which she has slowly made her home Jane comes to find a new and positive faith in life.
