Description

Dolly Lane is a downtrodden maid who longs to dance on the London stage, but the outbreak of war takes everything from her. Her fortunes take an unexpected turn when she secures employment as a chambermaid at London’s grandest hotel, The Savoy. An unusual newspaper advert finds her thrust into the heady atmosphere of London’s glittering theatre scene and into the sphere of the celebrated actress, Loretta May. A brighter future is tantalisingly close – but can a girl like Dolly ever truly leave her past behind?
