Description
Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day is a charming and humorous novel about a governess who finds herself in a very different world.
When Miss Pettigrew's employment agency sends her to the wrong address, she is offered a new job as the companion to a nightclub singer, Delysia LaFosse. Over the course of a single day, Miss Pettigrew experiences a kind of glamour she has only known at the movies, and both she and her employer are changed forever.
First published in 1938, this delightful novel has been reissued with original illustrations and has sold well over the years, demonstrating its enduring appeal.
