About this book
In 1930s London, unemployed governess Guinevere Pettigrew is mistakenly sent to the home of nightclub singer Delysia LaFosse. Instead of supervising children, she finds herself managing a crowded romantic predicament involving several men, an urgent social calendar and one remarkably eventful day. The timid Miss Pettigrew gradually discovers unsuspected confidence as she enters a glamorous world far removed from her precarious routine. Light, quick and warmly comic, the novel moves through misunderstandings and transformations while retaining a gentle awareness of loneliness, class and the possibility of beginning again.
