Kate Atkinson (the internationally bestselling, award-winning author of Life after Life) transports readers to the dazzling London of the Roaring Twenties in a whirlwind tale of corruption, seduction and debts that have come due . . .
With her unique Dickensian flair, Kate Atkinson gives us a window onto a vanished world. Slyly funny, brilliantly observant, and ingeniously plotted, Shrines of Gaiety showcases the myriad talents that have made Atkinson one of the most lauded writers of our time.
"Atkinson has read widely on the era, and it has certainly repaid the effort in her persuasive re-creation ... This book is one to savour, for the energy, for the wit, for the tenderness of characterization that make Atkinson enduringly popular." -- The Guardian
