16-year-old student Jenny stands on the threshold of womanhood; in her bedroom, she dreams of a life smelling of Gauloise cigarettes and singing along to the songs of Juliette Greco. She remains an excellent student, which her father believes will secure her a place at Oxford University, where she wants to go. One rainy day, an unsuitable suitor, David, who has already had over thirty, suddenly appears in her life. Will David be the beginning or the end for Jenny? The story of a teenage girl who grows into a young woman in Britain in the mid-1960s, in a tense post-war period that gives way to a decade of freer spirit.
