It's 1923, and London is a whirl of jazz and parties. Violet, Daisy, Poppy, and Rose Derrington are desperate to be part of it, but stuck in a huge crumbling house in the country, with no money and no fashionable dresses, the excitement seems a lifetime away. Luckily the girls each have a plan of escape: Rose wants to be a novelist, Poppy a jazz musician, and Daisy a famous film director. Violet, however, has only one ambition: to become the perfect debutante, so she can go to London and catch the eye of Prince George, the most eligible bachelor in the country. But a house as big and old as Beech Grove Manor hides many secrets, and Daisy is about to uncover one so huge it could ruin all their plans forever.

"A relaxing read"
Great for younger readers or those who want to take a few minutes out of reality and be transported back to the classic days of debutantes and the london season.
