The story

In London just prior to World War II, Guinevere Pettigrew, a middle-aged, straitlaced vicar's daughter and governess, has just been dismissed from her fourth job, without her wages, because of her unconventional notions of child rearing. On her way to an employment agency, she collides with a man who tells her that he has just been released from prison; she flees, leaving her suitcase behind with all her belongings. Now destitute, Guinevere heads to a soup kitchen.
