Abstract:

In 1939, two determined young women opened a marriage bureau in London and began the delicate business of matchmaking. From shop girls, debutantes, widowers, to war veterans, clients came in search of security, social acceptance, or love, and most found what they were looking for. Using the bureau's archives, Penrose Halson--who eventually became the proprietor of the bureau--tells their story and those of their clients. 2017.
