Novella / Short Story | Fiction Women's Fiction
On the morning of her release from prison, the hottest day
on record in England, Janice Bailey makes her way to a
boarding house in London, and discovers a bizarre new world. This moving collection of linked short stories begins with
‘When Janice Bailey Walked’, an award-winning story first
published in the Connecticut Review, and continues with six
more stories as told by the eccentric residents of Number
17, London Road, thus illuminating a little-known side of
the most beautiful city in Europe. During the course of one day, we meet Bitty, a college
drop-out now working in an antique shop, waiting nervously
in an Italian restaurant to find out if her American
boyfriend is about to dump her. And Nora, the landlady of
the boarding house, a romance novelist obsessed with the
Queen, who finds herself hotly pursued by Len, landlord of
the local pub. Then there's Anna, Nora's teenage daughter,
waiting all alone at netball camp because her mother,
otherwise engaged, has forgotten to collect her, and Isobel,
daughter of a Shakespearean actress, in the aftermath of a
crisis. Finally there's Mandy, who must choose between a
life of crime or an alternate path.
