Synopsis
“Besides the sharp wit, this also has wisdom and warmth - and some feminist revisionism.” - Nicolette Jones, The Sunday Times, Children’s Book of the Week
Take a peek into the diary of Panth (never enquire as to her given name), a young woman knocking on the gilded door of adult life and high society. But kicking up one’s heels at the Café de Paris does not come easily to a girl navigating:
- Poverty (even the genteel kind), thanks to her papa’s sad demise
- A lack of any experience whatsoever with the opposite sex, of course not counting Freddy Spencer (and he wasn’t that sort of experience, anyhow)
- Multiple sisters with ideas, a grandmother with opinions and one recalcitrant sheep
Panth knows there is more for her out in the world – it’s 1924, for goodness’ sake – and that could include swoonsome American with excellent teeth, Buck Buchanan. The question is – how in the name of Tatler is she to claim it?
A hilarious coming-of-age story for fans of I Capture the Castle and Bridgerton. Cover illustration by Emma Block.
