Filming has begun for 'Cheerful Weather For The Wedding' based on the 1932 novella by Julia Strachey, starring Luke Treadaway (Clash of the Titans) and Felicity Jones (Northanger Abbey) with Elizabeth McGovern and Mackenzie Crook also featured. Directed by Donald Rice.

This sardonic and beautifully written novella about a family in Forster territory was first published by Leonard and Virginia Woolf at the Hogarth Press in 1932. 'As delightful and perceptive today as it no doubt was seventy years ago: on her wedding day a girl knows she is about to make a serious mistake' (the Bookseller); 'a brilliant, bittersweet upstairs-downstairs comedy' wrote Shena Mackay in the Guardian. (Persephone Books)
Persephone Books publishes neglected classics by 20th century (mostly women) writers. They also published Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day.
Slated for release - late 2011
