Synopsis

Clara and Nancy, two sisters working in Holloway Prison in 1913, find themselves face-to-face with imprisoned suffragettes: women fighting for the same freedoms they want for themselves. Soon Nancy is drawn to one inmate in particular - the enigmatic `Duchess' - and decides to follow her into the fight. But Clara is torn by the very laws her sister has chosen to try to change. She's fallen in love, and yet marriage would mean giving up the job she loves, and losing her independence forever. How can she possibly choose between the two sides of her heart and not lose a part of herself?

Media Reviews
Praise for Jon Walter: It isn't often I'm left lost for words, but that's the way I felt when I finished reading this superb novel...It's epic in scale, but built out of the smallest things - great sentences and great dialogue...it will keep you utterly gripped. - Guardian ; This is an epic, vivid, emotionally involving, thought-provoking novel from a writer of distinction - Sunday Times Children's Book of the Week
Author Bio
Jon Walter is inspired by the power of ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances. A former photojournalist, he took pictures of the people we rarely get to see, and as a writer he listens out for the quieter voices of those that don't get heard. Here, inspired by the suffragette movement, he explores how it was the everyday decisions of women over their own lives that made its success inevitable. Jon's previous books, Close to the Wind and My Name's Not Friday, were also published by DFB, and have been shortlisted for numerous awards.
