- walks down Fulham Broadway carrying her week-old baby, Jonny. She is twenty-one, with bleached hair, high suede shoes, & a head full of dreams. Her husband Tom is a thief & on the proceeds of a job they move to a luxury flat
- `the world was our oyster & we chose Ruislip`. Then Tom is sent to prison, leaving Joy & Jonny to move in with Auntie Emm. This is Joy`s story: an exuberant, pink-lipsticked, tale of London life, love & young motherhood in the sixties...
