Marguerite Perigord is locked in the attic of her family home, a towering Chelsea house overlooking the stinking Thames. For company she has a sewing machine, Mrs Beetons Book of Household Management and a carrion crow who has come to nest in the rafters. Restless, she spends her waning energies on the fascinations of her own body, memorising Mrs Beetons advice and longing for her life outside. Cecile Perigord has confined her daughter Marguerite for her own good. Cecile is concerned that Marguerites engagement to a much older, near-penniless solicitor, will drag the family name her husbands name, that is into disrepute. And for Cecile, who has worked hard at her own betterment, this simply wont do. Ceciles life has taught her that no matter how high a woman climbs she can just as readily fall.
