About the book

Read the full description

Peggy is turning a dark girlhood romance into a novel and is trying to get her fellow inmate at the mental hospital, known as “the Duchess”, to read the manuscript. Frankly the duchess would prefer a Mills and Boon, but her friend’s wartime tragi-comedy soon gets a grip on her imagination.
