The Lost Art of Keeping Secrets

Set in the 1950s, this is the enchanting story of Penelope Wallace and her eccentric family at the start of the rock 'n' roll era. Penelope longs to be sophisticated and adored, but various inconvenient things keep getting in her way. Like her mother, a stunning but petulant beauty widowed at a tragically early age, a younger brother, Inigo, currently incapable of concentrating on anything that isn't Elvis Presley, a vast and crumbling ancestral home, a severe shortage of cash, and her best friend Charlotte's sardonic cousin Harry.
