Patty's Friends
Patty Fairfield is American, brash, and delightfully undeterred by English reserve. When her family decamps to London for the season, she finds herself torn between a musicale and an art exhibition, which is really just the first of many delicious choices in a city pulsing with possibility. Armed with nothing but charm and an irrepressible curiosity, Patty navigates lavish dinners, garden parties, and the labyrinthine customs of high society, turning every social hurdle into an opportunity for friendship. But beneath the glittering surface of London's season lies a mystery: two of her new English friends have lost their family fortune, scattered through generations of mismanagement and misadventure. Never one to wait for permission, Patty throws herself into the hunt with American ingenuity, proving that nerve and warmth might just be more useful than a pedigree. The result is a sparkling portrait of transatlantic friendship, a young woman who refuses to be intimidated, and the small adventures that change everything.
