| 520 | . | ‡a"In the spring of 1939, with the Second World War looming, two determined twenty-four-year-olds, Heather Jenner and Mary Oliver, decided to open a marriage bureau. They found a tiny office on London's Bond Street and set about the delicate business of matchmaking. Drawing on the bureau's extensive archives, Penrose Halson—who many years later found herself the proprietor of the bureau—tells their story, and those of their clients."--Back cover. | |
