Classic Serial: Westwood

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

1/2. In Stella Gibbons's gentle comedy, Margaret Steggles moves to London in 1943 to take up her new teaching job. Through a dropped ration book she meets the Challises who live at Westwood, an elegant house in Highgate. The charming Challis family, with the casual selfishness of the privileged, soon take advantage of Margaret's slavish admiration.
Adapted by Lynne Truss.
