Through closely observed detail and precise, graceful prose, the book evokes the textures of jazz age London with atmospheric clarity. The narrative traces intersecting lives and quiet tensions beneath the bright surfaces of performance and pleasure, revealing how loyalty, ambition, and vulnerability shape the fate of those who live by night.
