Product Description
Book Description
This is a deliciously entertaining Cinderella story for grown-ups. Over sixty years after her first appearance in 1938, Miss Pettigrew is still a delight, and is now charming a new circle of twenty-first century readers. It has been reprinted by Persephone Books in a facsimile edition, which includes the glorious original line drawings.
Synopsis
Miss Guinevere Pettigrew, a gentlewoman spinster approaching middle-age has been working as a governess to make ends meet, but a succession of appalling employers has left her down-trodden. Then one morning, owing to a mix-up at her employment agency, she is sent for an interview with a Miss LaFosse, a glamorous but dissolute cabaret artiste, who is seeking a new maid. Despite the moral and social gulfs between them, a surprising bond is formed, and by the end of the day, both their lives have been entirely transformed.
