Krátky popis
1926, and in a country still recovering from the Great War, London
has become the focus for a delirious new nightlife. In the clubs of
Soho, peers of the realm rub shoulders with starlets, foreign
dignitaries with gangsters, and girls sell dances for a shilling a
time. The notorious queen of this glittering world is Nellie Coker,
ruthless but also ambitious to advance her six children, including
the enigmatic eldest, Niven whose character has been forged in the
crucible of the Somme. But success breeds enemies, and Nellie's
empire faces threats from without and within. For beneath the
dazzle of Soho's gaiety, there is a dark underbelly, a world in
which it is all too easy to become lost. With her unique Dickensian
flair, Kate Atkinson brings together a glittering cast of
characters in a truly mesmeric novel that captures the uncertainty
and mutability of life, of a world in which nothing is quite as it
seems.
