Summary

Yorkshire 1983. Miner's wife Mandy wants more out of life, but believes she is capable of little more than baking a fine Victoria sponge. Husband Rob is a good looking drinker, content to spend his days in the mining town where they live. When a childhood friend - beautiful, clever Ruth - and her enigmatic Falklands war hero husband Dan return to town their homecoming is shrouded in mystery. With the onset of the strike and the arrival of a fourth child, Mandy's dreams of escape are abandoned; the community is threatened. Pressed into joining a support group by Ruth, Mandy discovers her calling. But as her public persona grows, relationships are pushed to the brink, and Mandy finds out who her true friends are.
