Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day is about a governess sent by an employment agency to the wrong address, where she encounters a glamorous night-club singer, Miss LaFosse. The Guardian asked: 'Why has it taken more than half a century for this wonderful flight of humour to be rediscovered?' while the Daily Mail liked the book's message - 'that everyone, no matter how poor or prim or neglected, has a second chance to blossom in the world.' And in The Shops India Knight called Miss Pettigrew 'the sweetest grown-up book in the world'. This wonderful novel was made into a film in 2008 starring Frances McDormand, who then kindly agreed to record the book for us in association with The Story Circle. The audiobook is just over six hours long.
