But Molly remains haunted by her mother’s death and the mystery that surrounds it. Driven by her need for answers and a desire for revenge, Molly strikes out by herself, intent on forging a legacy all her own …

Critic reviews

'Vividly imagined, relentlessly entertaining, rich and resonant in scope and context, it's both a thrilling adventure and a vital witness to women's voices.' (Emma Stonex, author of The Lamplighters)

I liked that the author was trying to to bring women’s writing to life but I found the interleaving a distraction. I found some of the ‘Molly’ story demeaning and tacky. It also seemed filled-out with unnecessary detail.

Very frustrating read
