'Following the death of their father, Beatrice and Evangeline Eliott find themselves impoverished and unfitted for any type of employment. Fortunately the two sisters have natural flair for style and design, and they soon find themselves in demand as dressmakers.
From these casual beginnings they launch themselves into the world of haute couture...
'The House of Eliott' follows the fortunes of the two sisters as they strive to be independant - in business and in life.'
Found for £2.99 in the St. Neots Oxfam shop. I didn't know there were books, let alone written by Jean Marsh who was also writer and actor in the seminal 1970's LWT 'Upstairs Downstairs' series!

Very enjoyable and well read by Jean Marsh - I shall add the book to my Wishlist as a result!! Bit more explicit in places than the tv adaption, but a good listen :)
Ready to be handed on to another would be fan :)
