Bestselling Novelist Helen Simonson

 
Author of “The Hazelbourne Ladies Motorcycle and Flying Club”
 

From the bestselling author of “Major Pettigrew’s Last Stand,” Helen Simonson presents a whip-smart comedy of manners and historical fiction of the highest order. It is the summer of 1919 and Constance Haverhill has taken a position as a lady’s companion at a seaside hotel. She befriends Poppy Wirral, the local baronet’s daughter, who wears trousers, operates a taxi, and runs a ladies’ motorcycle club. But things are more complicated than they seem in this sunny pocket of English high society. As the country prepares to celebrate its hard-won peace, Constance and the women of the club are forced to confront the fact that the freedoms they gained during the war are being revoked.

Doors open at 6:00 p.m. Seating is limited; early arrival is recommended.

Books available from The Novel Neighbor.
