Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day is about a down-on-her-luck, middle-aged governess who is sent by an employment agency to the wrong address: instead of a household of unruly children, she encounters a glamorous night-club singer named Miss LaFosse. Over a period of twenty-four hours her life is changed - forever.
Miss Pettigrew has been a Persephone bestseller ever since we first published it in 2000. It came to our attention when a customer, Henrietta Twycross-Martin, brought an ancient, battered copy of it into the bookshop and told us it was her mother's favourite book.
The Guardian asked: 'Why has it taken more than half a century for this wonderful flight of humour to be rediscovered? Pure Cinderella fantasy farce with beaus, bounders, negligées and nightclubs - Miss Pettigrew's blossoming is a delight to observe.' The Daily Mail liked the book's message - 'that everyone, no matter how poor or prim or neglected, has a second chance to blossom in the world,' while in The Shops India Knight described Miss Pettigrew as 'the sweetest grown-up book in the world' and Tracy Chevalier agreed that 'Miss Pettigrew is irresistible, a perfect mix of wistfulness and joy, substance and froth.'

Great Shelves Exspecially For the Money
Color: Grey, Size: 16.5 x 6.1 x 0.59 inches
These shelves are very good. The price is great. and they look great in my granddaughter playroom. They are easy to install, and the instructions are very simple. They are study and the length of them are pretty large compared to others I looked at. They are very sturdy if done right. These were bought for an organization shelf wall from the floor to the ceiling. I bought one box and put them up and since then I have bought two more boxes for the rest of the wall

Attractive and strong shelves.
Color: Dark Carbonized Pine, Size: 16.5 x 6.1 x 0.59 inches
These shelves are not only easy to install, but they look great too. I made a Mimi bar and these were strong enough to hold My liqueurs as well as glasses.

It works great
Color: Brown, Size: 16.5 x 6.1 x 0.59 inches, Color: Brown, Size: 16.5 x 6.1 x 0.59 inches
This was everything I needed. And it was exactly as described. And I really like the multiple ways that the brackets can be used. Good product. And a very good price.

Read the sizes
Color: Black, Size: 16.5 x 6.1 x 0.59 inches
These look bigger and wider in the photos, but they are small, so read the measurements before buying.
They are not real wood but they are sturdy and look great on my wall! They are easy to put together also. I love them!

Such a good price!
Color: Dark Carbonized Pine, Size: 16.5 x 6.1 x 0.59 inches
Love them! They are so cute, couple notes. The wood doesn’t come with pre drilled pilot holes for attaching the brackets so you will need a drill/drillbits. It is real wood which impressed me, but outside tools definitely required. Including a level!! The “level” they offer is indeed a bubble in liquid, but it’s about an inch long, 1/2in wide and a cylinder so probably the most useless, cutest level I’ve seen in my life. Otherwise great! They hold exactly what I need.
