The Marriage Bureau by Penrose Hanson 5/5⭐️s
1. Absolutely fascinating account of two women who do the unthinkable and start a completely respectable (and still in business!) marriage matchmaking business in WWII era London.
2. Some of the stories made me laugh.
3. Some broke my heart.
4. Overall, the reader is left with a warm fuzzy belief in the goodness of most people.
5. Extremely readable and written by a later proprietor and former client of the business!
