WINNER OF THE HARRY BOWLING PRIZE FOR FICTION.

WHAT IF EVERYTHING YOU KNEW COULD BE TAKEN FROM YOU IN A FLASH?

Rosie has always lived with her eagle-eyed Auntie Maggie and Uncle Bert in their café in Soho, often visited by her mother - the mysterious, and often drunk, Perfumed Lady. Yet, her mother's family - landed gentry who hail from a country estate near Bath - are desperate to get their hands on Sophie and will stop at nothing - even kidnap- to get her...

Will Rosie have to leave the Soho and the neighbours she knows and loves - Great Aunt Dodie, Madame Zelda and Paulette, Sharky, Maltese Joe and the Campini Family who run the delicatessen in Old Compton Street - for good?

Rosie's story continues in The Widow Ginger.

'A warm-hearted debut novel guaranteed to please.'

'A delightfully fresh and original novel with an unexpected sinister streak.'

(Maureen Lee, winner of the RNA 2000 Romantic No)

'This warm first novel set in working-class Soho in the Fifties explores an adult world through a child's eyes ... The author spent her childhood in Soho which perhaps explains the convincing period detail.'
