Produktbeschreibung

London, 1930s: the supper clubs are sublime, the servants are revolting and Mr Hitler seems like a decent type ...

Maybell Brumby and her old school friend Wallis Simpson go a long way back, so when they are reunited in London in 1932 they fit together like a horse and carriage.
