The fourth in Pip Granger's acclaimed Soho series of novels featuring nine-year-old Rosie - and Lizzy, a heart-warming new character destined for adventure and romance.
Part of Pip Granger's early childhood was spent in the back seat of
a light aircraft as her father smuggled brandy, tobacco and books
across the English Channel to be sold in 1950s Soho, where she
lived above the Two Is Cafe in Old Compton Street.She travelled in
Europe and Asia in the 1960s and '70s, and worked as a Special
Needs teacher in Hackney in the 1980s, before quitting teaching to
pursue her long-cherished ambition to write. She now lives in the
West Country with her husband and pets.
Pip Granger first novel, Not All Tarts Are Apple, won the Harry
Bowling Prize for fiction. Not All Tarts Are Apple, The Widow
Ginger, Trouble in Paradise and No Peace for the Wicked (all of
which feature the same cast of characters from 1950s Soho) are
available as Corgi paperbacks.
Praise for Trouble in Paradise
"Granger gets the atmosphere of 1940s London just right, down to
the fish-paste sandwiches and the seamed 'nylon' stockings women
drew onto their legs."
