About the book: 2018 / Miss Pettigrew, a vicar's daughter and a modest governess, left without work, gets a job with a young actress and immediately finds herself in the high society of London 1930s: luxurious nightclubs, chic outfits, incredible men and love affairs. Here she would be taken aback and run away to her usual – boring, miserable, but proven – existence, but the desire to look at the elite not on the cinema screen wins. And Miss Pettigrew remains. She doesn’t yet know that this one day will change her whole life. “One Day in the Life of Miss Pettigrew” is a surprisingly lively, vibrant story that captivates the reader with subtle humor, love of life and feminine wisdom. The name Winifred Watson stands in the ranks of English literature along with Pelham Grenville Wodehouse and Jerome Klapka Jerome.
