A Lesser Evil

When Fifi declares to her mother that she has secretly married Dan Reynolds, a handsome but itinerant bricklayer, her mother in incensed. Despite her mother's disapproval, Fifi heads to London with her new husband to set up home in Kennington.

Their flat may be small and the area quite deprived, but she finds the freedom of her new life exhilarating. Insatiably inquisitive, Fifi is fascinated by her eclectic mix of neighbours: Yvette the French dressmaker; Frank, the retired widower; and Miss Diamond, the formidable and well bred woman who lives downstairs. They are all a complete mystery to her and she can't wait to discover what really goes on behind their front doors, particularly those of the Muckle family...

The Muckle's live in terrible squalor. Fifi can't help but listen to their violent quarrels, watch the endless people coming and going, or the stories and legends about this ruthless family. And when she tries to help Angela, the youngest member of the Muckle family, who has been physically abused by her father, Fifi unwittingly starts a chain of events that puts her and Dan in terrible danger, and will change their lives forever.
