It’s great when writers you admire don’t let you down. Kate Atkinson’s latest novel presents a headlong whirl through the Soho clubland of the 1920s. Illicit drugs, drink, prostitution, even murder: it’s a heady mix. But Atkinson skilfully weaves together her many characters and plots. For once, a blurb that says ‘Dickensian’ is accurate. Atkinson has done her research - but it is lightly-worn and never intrusive. Enjoy!
