Debutantes by Cora Harrison

It's 1923 and London is a whirl of jazz, dancing and parties. Violet, Daisy, Poppy and Rose Derrington are desperate to be part of it, but are stuck in the middle of the country in a enormous crumbling house, with no 
money to buy any fashionable dresses as to make an impression. The excitement of the city seems to be a world away.

Luckily the girls hatch a plan to escape their dreary way of life: Rose want's to become a novelist, Poppy a jazz musician and Daisy to be a famous film director, Violet on the other hand wants nothing more than to become the perfect Debutante so she can go to London and catch the eye of an eligible bachelor and out an end to the family's money problems.

However a house as large and old as Beech Grove manor holds many a secrets, and Daisy is about to uncover a secret so large it could ruin their plans and even lives- forever..

Debutantes surprised me, usually I get bored while reading a period drama type book, however Debutantes gripped me, the mystery of the book really did it for me along with the originality of the family we are reading about. This book is original and I certainly can not wait for the next one. I for one will be first in line!
