Shrewsbury Market And A Girl Called Veronica

She works happily enough on her mother's fancy cakes and biscuits stall in Shrewsbury Market, but the world appears to be offering so much more to the girl called Veronica. The year is 1926 and the charismatic and outlandishly-named Packsaddle Galbraith, a former adventurer who once profited from a Canadian gold rush, now has his heart set on the cake stall girl. Meanwhile, Veronica's brother dreams of owning a motor car in an age when the young are striving to escape the dark memory of the First World War and enjoy a new world of fun and frivolity.
