Harriet is the middle child of a celebrated theatrical family, all of whom continue to live a comfortable if eccentric existence in the patriarchal home. When her father is accused of murder - fracturing his rival's skull on stage - and kept in jail, the family are forced to find other means for supporting their way of life. Harriet, struggling with a new job, her father's mistresses and an unlikely fairy godfather, begins a journey of personal education during which she learns that villains may smile and heroes be cunningly disguised.
