It’s 1990 and the streets of Notting Hill in London are filled with colour, life and the pulse of music from around the world. But behind the front door at 51 St Quentin Avenue, nineteen-year-old February Kingdom is Not OK. Her parents were killed at the King’s Cross fire two years ago, and her twin sister—beautiful, vibrant, lovable Diana—died in a car crash just six months ago. Then, one evening in May, she finds an escaped canary called Yellow in her kitchen, and it sparks a glimmer of hope in her.

Marnie FitzPatrick is a reclusive sixth former from Hertfordshire with a dysfunctional family, a penchant for Pythagoras' theorem and an addiction to doughnuts and gin. Julie Crewe is a disillusioned maths teacher who lives vicariously through the girls she teaches, yet who once danced barefoot through Central Park with a man called Jo she has never been able to forget.
