Book and it's lovely postcard arrived safely. Thanks for sharing. I look forward to reading it.

Miss Pettigrew is a middle-aged, down on her luck governess who has little hope of finding work and thus avoiding the workhouse when an employment agency surprising informs her that a vacancy has materialised. However, when she arrives at the given address she is met by a nightclub singer, Miss Lafosse, and no sign of any children. This is the tale of intervening 24 hours of her life.

Now I must admit that if it hadn't have been on the 1001 list I almost certainly would never have picked it up and that would have been a real shame as I would have missed out on a little gem. I read this book with a permanent smile on my face as Miss Pettigrew becomes ever more deeply drawn in to Miss Lafosse's and her friends' madcap way of life.

This a re-telling of the Cinderella story with Miss Lafosse as Miss Pettigrew's glamorous Fairy Godmother but it also has the feeling of an Ealing farce. The reader is pulled into a frantic world of the 1930's with beautiful decadent women in all their finery living in a world of heady, bohemian excitement and adventure on their own turns. OK some of the circumstances are a little dated now but in reality it is timeless. It’s a story about rebellion, about throwing off the shackles of your up-bringing every now and then a simply enjoying being alive. However, like a true fairytale you are left wondering whether or not Miss Pettigrew's newly discovered desire to experience the sensual pleasures of life will continue or is it finite and she reverts to her old ways? As I said before a little gem.

Going out as part of a Reading it/Want it thread. Enjoy!

Arrived safe and sound, thank you !

In the hands of La Poste to be delivered to our friend on the little island.
Bonne lecture !

Arrived today. At a first glance, it doesn't seem like my kind of reading. But I guess it all depends on the mood, right? 🤔
I'll give it a try some time.
Thank you so much, Icila, for sending this book to me. The BC stamp for the wish list tag is also safe and sound. It is a long awaited accomplishment. Merci 😁

This book deserves to be read by someone who is really looking forward to it.
I'm sending it to dutch-book, for the wish list tag game.

Sent to dutch-book today

This arrived last week. I for the life of me couldn't remember why I put it on my wishlist, but now I see it's a 1001-book and well reviewed too. So that's probably why. Looking forward to reading it!
Thank you for sending.
