Krátky popis
From the inimitable bestselling author, Kate Atkinson, a
mesmerising novel set in the glittering world of Soho in the 1920s
- a place of gangsters and showgirls, Bright Young Things and one
remarkable woman. 'Atkinson on her finest form. A marvel of
plate-spinning narrative knowhow, a peak performance of consummate
control.' OBSERVER'This is the perfect novel for uncertain times.'
THE TIMES'I can think of few writers other than Dickens who can
match it' SUNDAY TIMES'Brilliant' RICHARD OSMAN'Kate Atkinson is
simply one of the best writers working today, anywhere in the
world' GILLIAN FLYNN____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. At the heart of this glittering world
is notorious 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. _____'Seduction, betrayal, and
larger-than-life characters that will have you hooked until the
last page' SUNDAY TELEGRAPH'This book is one to savour, for the
energy, for the wit, for the tenderness of characterisation that
make Atkinson enduringly popular' GUARDIAN'As vividly filthy,
populous, dangerous as anything described by Dickens, but writing
is closer to Thackeray's...Atkinson is a novelist of unrivalled
immediacy, authority, and skill.' FINANCIAL TIMES
