Neither Joyce nor Jack approve of Kitty's friendship with Tommy and even seem to nurse a mysterious hatred of him. Starved of affection herself Kitty soon befriends all outsiders in the village she sees as missing home or longing for love: American airmen gypsies German PO Ws orphans and above all her beloved Tommy. In the end it is her relentless curiosity that slowly transforms the lives of the strangely unhappy Joyce and Jack.
