Episode 6
The story of Sal, Arthur's mistress and madam of the Primrose Hill brothel.
Molly McGrann's frank and atmospheric novel centres around the fallout from the discovery of the double life of the late Arthur Gillies - on the surface a respectable businessman, whose widow and daughter have no idea that he made a fortune running high-class brothels, for several decades, in some of the most exclusive areas of London.
This episode focuses on Sal's story, Arthur's long-term mistress and the madam of the house in Primrose Hill.
