description: This is the tale of a quite avenue in the London suburbs and the people who lived there during two of the most turbulent decades of the twentieth century. It was a time when people danced the Charleston and listened to jazz; a time when unemployment was rife and the Blackskirts marched the streets. But above all it is the story of five families - and their hopes, dreams and fears - set against the backdrop of a war that seems increasingly likely, and threatens to change their lives beyond recognition.
