Description
'Osborne empathises so well with singular women, outsiders. She is true to their fears and motivation, portraying them with honesty . . . Defter than a comedy of manners . . . Osborne echoes the refrains of Henry James and Edith Wharton, creating an air of geniality, even gentle comedy, to conceal intrigue and darkness' Richard Ryder, Spectator London, 1914. War looms, suffragettes are on the march and two young women at 35 Park Lane dream of breaking free. Below stairs, housemaid Grace Campbell is struggling. Her family believe she is a secretary, and asked to send home more money than she earns, Grace is in trouble. Meanwhile Miss Beatrice, daughter of the house, is fatigued with the social season. The call of Mrs Pankhurst's captivating world of militant suffragettes means Bea is soon playing a dangerous game that will throw her in the path of a man her mother wouldn't let through the front door. Then war comes and it is not just their secrets - now on a collision course - that will change their lives for good. 'Osborne brings the dynamics of the suffragette movement to vivid life' Elena Seymenliyska, Daily Telegraph 'A pacey page-turner . . . An entertaining reminder of how hard women fought to be heard both politically and in their private lives' Easy Living
