His only daughter and her feckless husband spend his fortune but despise its provenance so he looks to his grandchildren: EDWARD has all his grandfather's ruthlessness but none of his vision; PERRY is a good-time boy; AMELIE, intelligent and ambitious, is willing to take anyone on to gain control of the store. Alongside their story is that of Packards employees: DAISY CHAPMAN, thrilled to have found an escape from East End drudgery; skilled and promotable but forced to choose between love and her job; ISOBEL NORTON who has fled from her brother-in-law's advances to make a new life for herself; JOHNNY MILLER, loved by Isobel and in love with Daisy. Together, their stories combine to create a sweeping absorbing vision of a cross-section of society in the early years of the century.
