Ellen Quinn kept her sanity in the suffocating Edinburgh suburb where she grew up by imagining it was a seething hotbed of intrigue. A neglected child, she's still looking for love as an adult; and so she finds herself married to Daniel. How could she know that he would misbehave, and that, with all the love and sex she could want, there'd still be something missing? Cora O'Brien is the total opposite; outrageous and outspoken, she inspires the children she teaches with the same enthusiasm, often to the dismay of their parents. The city can't soften her Highland lilt, but her lifestyle would raise a few eyebrows back home and her mother already thinks she's the wrong sort of woman, the naughty sort. But her vividness is a facade; most of her secrets she's still keeping to herself. Ellen and Cora may have plenty to learn about life, but they always have vodka, and each other to talk to when the unexpected arrives.
