Description
Set in 1950s England, recovering from the Second World War, this novel tells the story of Penelope Wallace and her eccentric family as they navigate the start of the rock'n'roll era. With her mother's stunning beauty, a younger brother's obsession with Elvis Presley, and financial struggles, Penelope faces various obstacles to growing up and falling in love. The story is set against the backdrop of a vast but crumbling ancestral home, where Penelope lives with her family. Her best friend Charlotte's cousin Harry adds to the mix, bringing his own brand of sarcasm and humor. As Penelope navigates her way through adolescence, she must contend with these challenges and find her place in the world. This charming novel explores themes of love, family, and identity, set against the vibrant backdrop of 1950s England.
