Here is the first paragraph:-

Eleanor Charnwood ended the argument with her mother by slamming the front door. Then she raced into Whitby's tangle of narrow streets. The argument had been an old one. The same angry words received an airing at least once a week. Eleanor wanted to leave this out-of-the-way English town at the edge of the ocean and find work in one of the new advertising agencies springing up all over London. And after London? Who knew? Paris? Berlin? New York? But Eleanor's mother always shook her head. 'No. Not ever.'
