I am hoping you all can help me track down this book for a patron.

She believes the title is Brittania Mews, is not sure of the spelling and
definitely does not remember the author. Brittania Mews is the name a
neighborhood in the London area. The patrons says the book is about the
evolution of the neighborhood over time - from trendy, then goes downhill,
then becomes trendy again. To contradict this, she also thinks the novel
takes place around 1900.

I tried searching in Amazon, Bookfinder.com and What Do I Read Next?

Does this ring a bell with anyone?

Thanks a bunch!

There is a book by Margery Sharp called "Britannia Mews." It was written in
1946 and originally published by Little Brown & Co. We do not own the book
so I cannot check content, but there were listings on OCLC along with
reprinted editions with a later date. Hope this helps.
