Marriages Are Made in Bond Street

Descriere

True Stories from a 1940s Marriage Bureau. In the spring of 1939, with the second World War looming, two determined 24 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 match-making. Drawing on the bureau's extensive archives, author Penrose Halson - who many years later found herself the proprietor of the bureau - tells their story, and those of their clients.
