From The Publisher* | The #1 internationally bestselling, award-winning author of Life after Life transports us to the dazzling London of the Roaring Twenties in a whirlwind tale of corruption, seduction and debts that have come due. |
Review Quote* | "[A] glittering foray into London's post-WWI Soho. . . . Atkinson's incisive prose and byzantine narrative elegantly excavate the deceit, depravity and destruction of Nellie's world. She also turns this rich historical into a sophisticated cat-and-mouse tale as the various actors try to move in on Nellie's turf. Atkinson is writing at the top of her game." -Publishers Weekly (starred review) |
