How do you find a missing actress in a city where everyone’s playing a role?
‘FABULOUS!’ Helen Simonson, author of Major Pettigrew’s Last Stand
‘Scintillating’ Observer
‘Vibrant and atmospheric’ Daily Express
Soho. 1965, When an American actress disappears from the Galaxy Theatre, her young dresser, Anna Treadway is determined to find out what happened to her.
Anna's search will lead her through a London she barely knew existed: a city of reggae clubs and back street doctors, of dangerous prejudice and unexpected allies. She is aided by a disparate group of émigrés, each carrying secrets of their own.
But before she can discover the truth about Iolanthe, Anna will need to open herself – to her past, her present and the possibility of love.
