WHAT IF EVERYTHING YOU KNEW COULD BE TAKEN FROM YOU IN A FLASH?

Rosie has always lived with her eagle-eyed Auntie Maggie and Uncle Bert in their café in Soho, often visited by her mother – the mysterious, and often drunk, Perfumed Lady. Yet, her mother’s family – landed gentry who hail from a country estate near Bath – are desperate to get their hands on Sophie and will stop at nothing – even kidnap – to get her…

Will Rosie have to leave the Soho and the neighbours she knows and loves – Great Aunt Dodie, Madame Zelda and Paulette, Sharky, Maltese Joe and the Campini Family who run the delicatessen in Old Compton Street – for good?

Rosie’s story continues in The Widow Ginger.
