Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day

A perfect guilty pleasure read. This book has a fairytale structure. It has drama. It has debauchery. It has romance. It is an absolute pleasure to read and it is a book that can be devoured in one sitting and like a particularly good glass of red wine or a sumptuous cream cake can make you want to sigh with satisfaction. Some parts of the book certainly reflect the time period it was written in (a pre war London) but the juicy scandalous lives of the liberated women Miss Durbarry and Miss LaFosse's make this book so compelling and indulgent. A fantastic book. The original and superior first ever rom/chick lit style book. I loved it and I think you will be hard pressed to disagree with me!
