《娥蘇拉的生生世世》作者 凱特．亞金森 2022新作！ ✰ 紐時、衛報報導阿特金森新作 1926年，倫敦蘇活區成為夜生活重鎮。小明星、外國政要與黑幫在此徘徊。夜世界的女帝柯克冷酷無情，想拉拔六個孩子出人頭地。然而，樹大招風，她的帝國面臨了內憂外患。 From the inimitable bestselling author, Kate Atkinson, a mesmerising novel set in Soho in the 1920s, when gangsters and politicians, peers and dancing girls, rubbed shoulders in a dazzling new world. 1926, and in a country still recovering from the Great War, London has become the focus for a delirious new nightlife. In the clubs of Soho, peers of the realm rub shoulders with starlets, foreign dignitaries with gangsters, and girls sell dances for a shilling a time. The notorious queen of this glittering world is Nellie Coker, ruthless but also ambitious to advance her six children, including the enigmatic eldest, Niven whose character has been forged in the crucible of the Somme. But success breeds enemies, and Nellie's empire faces threats from without and within. For beneath the dazzle of Soho's gaiety, there is a dark underbelly, a world in which it is all too easy to become lost.
