About this book
In this novel, Gwendoline Butler evokes in full and vivid detail the theatrical scene in London from World War I through the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. Albion Walk is the story of Alice May, of her rise from the Werkstatte in Vienna, to her apprenticeship with a couturier in Paris and finally to her emergence as one of the reigning women of English theatre, owner and manager of the Albion. It is the story of her personal as well as her professional life, of the two men for whom she feels a passion as strong as that for her work, and of the one man who tires to destroy her.
