They range from a Victorian mansion, converted into a home for unmarried mothers, to a wartime hospital which is the scene for a job interview in the middle of the Blitz; from ghost stories to a one-night stand - and its ironic punishment - to the tangle of emotions felt by a mother for her daughter.
