'A scandalously enjoyable account of lives, losses and inconsiderate love-making, 'The West End Front' boasts a visitors' book like no other. From the egregious con man Sir Curtis Lampson to the louche inhabitants of the 'Pink Sink' bar, Fifth columnists, communists, spies, spivs, charlatans and deposed monarchs, they're all here, somehow keeping their crumpets buttered and their dignity intact during the worst excesses of the Ritzkrieg. Delightfully gossipy and often moving, it shines an affectionate search-light on an entirely forgotten chapter of World War Two.' --Mark Gatiss
'Full of wonderful and awful creatures, whose individual lives are rich in fascination.' --Guardian
'It combines fun, glamour and horror with some deeply eccentric behaviour, just what I enjoy myself when on holiday.' --Lucy Worsley, Sunday Telegraph
