| Plot Summary of Goodnight Lady |
|---|
"A fascinating and emotional tale of the life of Briony Cavangh from her impoverished childhood in the 1900s right through to her rise to notoriety in London's sleazy underworld from the 1920s right up to the 1960s. Through her career, she comes under threat from various London gangs eager to take over her lucrative business, and it seems that her twin sons want a piece of the action as well, resorting to extreme methods to muscle in. But there is a price to pay . . ."
Nick Warren, Resident Scholar
