Esmé lives in a little London flat furnished in imitation of the great town houses, filling her days with luncheon at the Berkeley, tea at the Carlton and dinners with admirers. Her round of pleasure and borrowed luxury in fashionable society carries a hidden cost, until a sickly baby named Cyril brings her face to face with her own heart and what she has risked.
