Description
Lisbeth Campion's life was complicated by her numerous suitors, but when she encounters Arthur Alfred Partridge, he finds himself entangled in more than just romance. His new acquaintance is facing troubles that go beyond her romantic entanglements, particularly with her brother Ronny, who has recently been released from prison after a stint for peddling cocaine. Partridge's life becomes increasingly complicated as he helps Lisbeth navigate her situation and tries to make ends meet alongside her and her brother. As they set up makeshift housekeeping in London, the three of them take on odd jobs to get by. This entertaining tale of eccentric characters and their misadventures has all the wit and charm that readers have come to expect from Margery Sharp. First published in 1939, Harlequin House has been out of print for over 60 years, but this new edition features an introduction by twentieth-century women's historian Elizabeth Crawford.
