Daisy and her mum have just moved into the Grand Private Hotel belonging to Mr and Mrs Papadopolous. It's all new and strange, but Nina, Old Dot, the Colonel and especially Rainbow Rose are there to help them make a new life for themselves. But what's so special about the year 1975 Susanne Gervay draws us into the hectic social changes of the 1970s with her story of a young girl meeting new people and becoming involved in the movement for equal rights of women.
Susanne Gervay is an award-winning writer who breaks new ground in integrating music, film and text. Her work is published internationally and her rite-of-passage children's novel I Am Jack has been adapted into a play.
