About this listen

“A reminder that age is no barrier to the unconventional and daring…An extraordinary story about an extraordinary woman.” New York Times bestseller Hazel Gaynor

“Told with warmth and grace, this novel is a rallying cry for all who dare regardless of age and gender.” Toronto Star

Teacher. Widow. Legend.

It’s 1901 and the mists of change are swirling. Queen Victoria’s reign is about to come to an end, and an obscure widow in Buffalo, New York, is about to attempt the impossible.

Meet the courageous Mrs Annie Edson Taylor. The bravest woman you’ve never heard of and the first person to go over Niagara Falls in a barrel —over a decade before any man dared to do the same.

Enter a world of lost fortunes and friendship, as Annie, grieving the past and determined to change the lives of the women around her, attempts to alter the course of history.

With a single jump, that is.

"Cauchi takes us on an enjoyable ride of a tale, told from the heart." Historical Novel Society
