Who is Nadia and Kevin from London Transports and what is their importance? London_Transports English & Literature Nadia and Kevin | London Transports

Pat's predecessor in the richly appointed flat with Joy and Marigold, Nadia is said to have become manager of Solomon's antique shop partly by talent and partly by sleeping with the boss. She is also said to have gone to manage a shop in the Georgetown section of Washington, DC, after fleeing some sort of entanglement with a restoration painter. Marigold refuses further details. Pat visits Solomon's and learns from Kevin, a handsome if seedy young man, that Marigold is not, in fact, crippled by polio and confined to a wheelchair and that Nadia is not in the U.S. but is instead hiding in his flat. She is terrified of Marigold, who has confiscated her lovely furniture and turned her into a prostitute to support her. Kevin claims that they are mad. Nadia longs for her idyllic home but cannot face the tyranny.
