Matilda Poliport is recently widowed and has decided to end it all. But, when constructing her careful plan, she comes across Hugh Warner, also hatching a similar ploy. And so life begins again for the unlikely combination of an elderly woman and a young man on the run from the police.
The first ten paperback Penguin books appeared in 1935 costing 6d each (the price of a packet of cigarettes). Since then the Penguin list has developed enormously, but still aims to bring the best writing to the widest possible audience. Penguin Paperbacks now range from Booker Prize-winning contemporary authors, to mass market bestsellers, with successful history, biography and general non-fiction as well.
