Focusing on the significance of pubs in British culture, the narrative intertwines the life of Laura Thompson's grandmother, Violet, who made history as the first woman in England to hold a publican's license in her own name. Through Violet's story, the book delves into the social and cultural implications of pubs, highlighting their role as community hubs. Thompson, known for her previous work on the Mitford sisters, brings a personal and historical perspective to this exploration of gender and tradition in the British pub landscape.
