A State of Change — Penelope Gilliatt

When Katia leaves her native Poland for the more permissive world of 1960s London, she finds herself trying to cope with situations she had never dreamed of -- a dreary job at a women's magazine, a solitary friendship with an embittered homosexual, and a strange relationship with Harry and Don, old friends who are entirely different from each other. Peculiarly attracted to both, Katia tries to sort out her tangled emotions and arrange her life in a way that will satisfy two men at once.
