Red'NOTE PERFECT' East Riding Magazine'AN EXTRAORDINARY NEW WRITER' Nina StibbeI used to
believe the world had been created for me  every stone and grain of sand. As I grew older  I
began to think of myself as something tacked on to the edge. 1939  London: From McPhail's
Passage to Kensington's Grand Palace Hotel  Rose Dunbar is evacuated from her humble home on
the Rock of Gibraltar and dropped into a chaotic city of falling bombs  perplexing class rules
and bad weather. Despite being 'flagrantly foreign' to the locals  she becomes an efficient
go-between for the upper-class ladies helping out with the war effort and her own tribe of
noisy displaced families.It is only when she is shifted to the countryside to become secretary
to the plain-speaking and sightless Major Inchbold that Rose's dizzying journey to womanhood
will become more surreal than ever  as she drinks tea at the vicarage and stands up for the
lower orders. But Rose's greatest dilemma is yet to come  as she must decide where her home -
and her heart - really lies.In Anne Youngson's wry and sublimely understated prose  this unique
and beautiful story of love  class and belonging is also a profound and intimate meditation on
what it takes to find our place in the world.*******************************Praise for ANNE
