more persephone page-turners Miss Pettigrew goes to Hollywood Thanks to a tiny publishing house, novels our mothers - and grandmothers - loved have new fans. Now with a film version of one set to be this summer's hit romcom, Roya Nikkhah asks what is the secret of Persephone's success

* Good Evening, Mrs Craven by Mollie Panter-Downes (below). One of its bestsellers, and never reproduced this side of the Atlantic until Persephone stepped in, the book focuses on English domestic life during the Second World War.

* The Making of a Marchioness by Frances Hodgson Burnett. The author's realistic - and funny - portrayal of a Victorian marriage is "unputdownable", say readers.

* The Far Cry by Emma Smith. Written in 1949, when Smith was just 25, the book details a young girl's passage to India. Now in her eighties, and after years of obscurity, Smith has just completed her memoir.
