Crooked Pieces by Sarah Grazebrook
London, 1905. Maggie's new position as a maid lifts her from East End poverty and brings her into the world of the suffragettes, in particular the Pankhursts - icons for a generation of women in search of equality and the right to vote. Before long her life takes another exciting turn when she begins 'walking out' with a young police officer, Fred Thorpe. As Maggie becomes drawn into an increasingly militant battle with the authorities, she is torn between her loyalty to the man she loves and her passionate belief in the cause for which she is fighting. Is Maggie prepared to sacrifice her one chance of happiness for the sake of a future she may never see?
'You'll live and breathe this bookIt will make you laugh and cry, and possibly throw stones and wear petticoats' Frances Fyfield 'Grazebrook s writing has freshness and spontaneity: the effect is of listening to someone talking, a bright, pert conversationalist with a stock of good one-liners and a keen eye for human foibles' Sunday Telegraph 'Perfect holiday reading...Sarah Grazebrook's characterisation and dialogue are excellent' Heat
