FIC CHE Early 20th century London has its own time-honored customs and it is in this context that two young girls, Maude and Livia, become friends. Their families represent two different social classes. Lavinia with her younger sister, Ivy May, are part of a working class family; while Maude's parents are definitely upper class. The families encounter each other as they visit their family graves at the local cemetery. And it is there that they come into contact with poor Simon, the gravedigger's son, who represents yet a third class. While Lavinia's family is comfortable in the Victoria age, Maude's mother is decidedly not. Kitty Coleman becomes involved with suffragettes and is it during one of their events that tragedy strikes.
