Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day by Winifred Watson

4.0

Excellent, breezy read about a straight-laced out of work nanny caught up in the dizzying social circle of a decadent London socialite in 1939 Britain. A little dated in its attitudes toward women as well as certain groups (Italians, Jewish people), however the main character is so delightful as she slides off of her high horse and starts to enjoy her out-of-the ordinary day that the stereotypes are easily forgotten.
