Publisher's Summary

If you enjoyed The Familiars and The Binding, you'll love this sweeping and empowering historical novel, set in Suffragette England.

On Halloween night, 1906, young working class Lotta Rae is attacked by a wealthy gentleman. She seeks justice at an Old Bailey trial alongside her barrister, William Linden, who she believes to be her ally.

The verdict is devastating and Lotta Rae soon realises the guardians of justice do not support her. But what none could foresee were the shocking consequences.

Twelve years later, as the suffragettes rise and the ghost of WW1 looms large over London, William is joined again by Lotta Rae. Now they will travel to a fateful destination, where truths must be faced and wrongs will be righted.

The day in court is done. But tonight he will hear her testimony.

Brilliant and emotional

This book is wonderful. The writing is superb and although the story is harrowing in so many ways it also riveting.
