The L-shaped room

Description:

Jane is unmarried and pregnant when she is turned out by her father. She moves into a room at the top of a squalid house. She cares nothing for it, or for her neighbours. But it is these neighbours that draw her back into life - Toby, a Jewish writer, John, a jazz player, and even her landlady. The first book of a trilogy.
