The L-Shaped Room
Lynne Reid Banks Audio Book

Jane Graham is unmarried and pregnant when she is turned out of her comfortable suburban home by her irate father. She lights dejectedly on a bug-ridden room at the top of a squalid house in Fulham. She cares nothing for it. Nor does she care for herself or her neighbours. But it’s these neighbours, by their unaffected kindness, who draw her back to life, and the L-shaped room slowly becomes home.
