Description
In postwar Britain, the town of Tilling is experiencing a mix of modernity and traditional influences. Elizabeth Mapp-Flint's decision to purchase a motor-car marks a significant shift in her social standing, but she soon finds herself stranded in Southampton after making a tactical error. While Elizabeth is away, Lucia Pillson seizes the opportunity to implement one of her ideas: the creation of a tapestry depicting the history of Tilling. The project requires the labor of all its subjects, who work tirelessly to complete it. Meanwhile, Elizabeth discovers a game of Monopoly in her hotel room and decides to return home to rescue her fellow townspeople from Lucia's latest endeavor. As the story unfolds, the fates of the tapestry and the town itself become intertwined with the fortunes of Elizabeth and Lucia in their respective games of Monopoly.
