Daisy and her mum have just moved into the Grand Private Hotel belonging to Mr and Mrs Papadopolous. It's all new and strange, but Nina, Old Dot, the Colonel and especially Rainbow Rose are there to help them make a new life for themselves. But what's so special about the year 1975? Susanne Gervay draws us into the hectic social changes of the 1970s with her story of a young girl meeting new people and becoming involved in the movement for equal rights of women.
