      WINNER OF THE HARRY BOWLING PRIZE FOR FICTION.

      WHAT IF EVERYTHING YOU KNEW COULD BE TAKEN FROM YOU IN A FLASH?

      Rosie       has always lived with her eagle-eyed Auntie Maggie and Uncle Bert in their café in Soho, often visited by her mother - the mysterious, and often drunk, Perfumed Lady. Yet, her mother's family - landed gentry who hail from a country estate near Bath - are desperate to get their hands on Sophie and will stop at nothing - even kidnap- to get her...

      Will Rosie have to leave the Soho and the neighbours she knows and loves - Great Aunt Dodie, Madame Zelda and Paulette, Sharky, Maltese Joe and the Campini Family who run the delicatessen in Old Compton Street - for good?

      Rosie's story continues in The Widow Ginger.
