Uddrag
But even in her rough environment and with her haunting past, Kim has a dream of becoming an actress.

Prospect House is an inspiring short story that shows us the viewpoint of girls in poor social conditions (also known as the social lower class) trying to break out of their social mobility, that is the theme of the story.

Even the title refers to breaking out of the pattern as the word ‘prospect’ means possibility, chance and potential.
