Présentation de l'éditeur :
NOT ALL TARTS ARE APPLE...
At least, that's what seven-year-old Rosie finds out at school one morning. 'You haven't got no proper mum and dad. Your mum's a tart', she is told by her friend Kathy Moon. And with this, Rosie's safe world - her home above the cafe in Old Compton Street, watched over by her devoted Uncle Bert and Auntie Maggie - is turned upside down.
A cafe in post-war Soho is a strange place to bring up a child. Rosie is used to being with a motley group of grown-ups - Mamma Campanini at the deli, Madame Zelda (Clairvoyant to the Stars), Sharkey Finn (a clever lawyer, but bent as a two-bob watch), Paulette (French Lessons) - and the mysterious Perfumed Lady, who makes an appearance from time to time. Usually the worse for drink, she laughs a lot and wears clothes like a princess. She brings Rosie presents - silver shoes and glittery jewellery and satin ribbons. Rosie thinks she is her fairy godmother. But she is, of course, Rosie's real mum ... and one day, might want to reclaim her.
A rags-to-riches story with a delightfully original spin, Not All Tarts Are Apple is narrated by seven-year-old Rosie who grows up in a cafe in 1950s Soho, watched over by her eagle-eyed Auntie Maggie and Uncle Bert, and visited on occasions by her mother, the mysterious, and often drunk, Perfumed Lady. But it soon transpires that the Perfumed Lady's family - landed gentry who hail from a country estate near Bath - are desperate to get their hands on Rosie, and will stop at nothing - even kidnap - to acquire her.
Not All Tarts Are Apple is peopled with a wonderful cast of eccentric subsidiary characters - Great Aunt Dodie, Madame Zelda and Paulette, Sharky, the Campini Family who run an Italian delicatessan in Old Compton Street, and Maltese Joe - all of whom live in a Soho so atmospherically evoked that you can smell and taste it.
