Publisher's Synopsis
Portland Place is the diary of Sarah Shaw for the year of 1971. Working as a secretary for the BBC at the time, Sarah's diary describes the life of a suburban girl who certainly wasn't 'swinging' but who was, ironically, not only working on a cutting edge BBC survey on sex education but was also about to embark on an extraordinary first love affair. Sarah talks humorously and frankly about what it was like to be a young, working woman at the time as well as life at the BBC during the 1970s.
