Description: "[A] skillful blend of fact and fiction." - Richmond Times-Dispatch "Upson's novel has beautifully rendered the modernist atmosphere of Britain between the wars. Her characters are developed richly...and her plot is a lovely layered puzzle." - Milwaukee Journal Sentinel "[A] blithely spirited debut. . . . Upson clearly knows her way around pre-World War II London and the grimy backstages of Covent Garden, and delivers an ending shot through with palpable surprise and emotion." - Los Angeles Times "Takes readers behind the scenes during a lively period for the British stage." - Wall Street Journal "Upson's debut is a most promising valentine." - Kirkus Reviews "Nicola Upson has . . . given us a highly original and elegantly written novel." - P.D. James
