Opis
Written by Frances Osborne, the bestselling author of The Bolter, Park Lane is set in Edwardian London and tells the story of housemaid Grace Campbell and Lady Beatrice - two young women of very different social standing who both dream of breaking free from tradition and obligation. They know that suffragettes are on the march and that war looms, but at 35 Park Lane, Lady Masters insists that life is about service and duty. The book expertly delves inside one of London's most exclusive residences where the walls between two social worlds are crumbling and the lives of these two women are about to collide in a way they could never have imagined. This gripping and tense hardback brilliantly captures a deeply fascinating period of British life in which the normal boundaries of behaviour were overturned and the social hierarchy could no longer be taken for granted.
