Evaluation About Books Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day

Such a sugar sweet candy book, really uplifting and witty, why haven't I read it before?Off to see the movie now!



"She, Miss Pettigrew, spinster, maiden lady, dull nonentity, jobless, incompetent, was bound for a night club, clad in splendour: painted like the best of them, shameless as the worst of them, uplifted with ecstasy. Oh! thought Miss Pettigrew blissfully, I think Id like to die to-night before I waken up."This is Pure, Unadulterated ESCAPISM! Utter delight and bliss! This book makes you feel like you are on sugar high after a deceptively light and delicious sugary cake.The time is 1938, the

Rating Clarification: 3.5 StarsThis is a seriously old fashioned and charming adult fairy tale, and I mean that in the best way. Reading it is much like being transported into one of those classic black and white comedies starring Myrna Loy or Cary Grant; very stylish, slapdash and engaging, but with little substance.

However, as the title of this novel indicates, we get to follow Miss Pettigrew on a special day when she encounters enough adventures to last her for a lifetime. These adventures change her, and while we read about her day we also learn about her as a person: both who she was before and who she's becoming now. A lot of Miss Pettigrew's adventures were very

This is such a delightful read, I loved it from beginning to end! I've been reading so many books lately that I wished would have been shorter but with Miss Pettigrew I wish the book would have been much longer:) I can't believe I came across this charming, beguiling, uplifting, feel good tale by pure chance, it must have been my lucky day! This became an instant classic to me after the first few pages. I just love Watson's writing, the way she portrays the characters and their feelings. Miss
