Presenting a dazzling new historical novel.... The Girl in the Savoy is really as dazzling as champagne and as exciting as the period itself. "Sometimes life provides you organic cotton stockings. Sometimes it offers you a Chanel wedding dress...." Dolly Lane is a dreamer, a downtrodden maid who longs to party on the London stage, but her life has been fractured by the Great War. Stories of the soldier she treasured, of secret shame and profound loss, by turns draw her back again and spur her on to make an improved life. When she sees employment as a chambermaid at London's grandest hotel, The Savoy, Dolly requires a step nearer to the glittering lives of the Bright Young Things who flourish on champagne, jazz, and rebellion. At this time she must can be found on the fringes of electricity, prosperity, and glamor - she must continue to be unseen and unimportant. But her bundle of money takes an urgent flip when she responds to a attempting songwriter's advertisement for a "muse" and sees herself thrust into London's exhilarating theatre scene and into the lives of celebrated actress Loretta May and her brother, Perry. Loretta and Perry may have the life span Dolly aspires to, but they, too, are searching for something. Now, at the precipice of the life span she has and the main one she dreams about, the girl in the Savoy must make difficult options: between two men, between two classes, between everything she has learned and everything she dreams of. A brighter future is tantalizingly close - but can a woman like Dolly ever truly leave her former behind?
