In A Wife In Water Colours Irish servant girl Anna Fitzgerald has walked out on her life and is tramping the fields of Cheshire en route to Manchester, she falls in with artist Nick Flaunt who is camping.
Making their way to Manchester the pair meet Piggy White and his assistant Mo. Piggy is a bookmaker and clearly knows more about Anna and past than she would like. In a conversation with Mo it looks like Anna may have a child that Mo is caring for. It’s not made explicitly clear whether Mo is the child’s father.
Once the pair reach the big city Anna discovers Nick is the son of a Sir although he claims not to be interested in his family or it’s titles. Nick also meets fellow artist Anton who introduces him to Rachel Rosing – it turns out that Anna also knows Rachel – she is the sister of Mo.
