Kipling & Trix by Mary Hamer
As small children, Rudyard Kipling and his sister 'Trix' lived an enchanted life in India playing with beloved servants and running around freely. Their innocent happiness came to an abrupt end when they were sent back to England to live with strangers and forced to conform to the strict rules of Edwardian society in an alien country.
"A historical delight" Waterstones "Hamer's books opens up the complex world of the Kiplings, moving between continents and momentous world events." Daily Mail "Although based closely on historical fact, Kipling and Trix is a tour-de-force of imaginative fiction as well as a lyrically written, if often harrowing, tale of surprising passion." Gina Berreca, The Huffington Post
Mary Hamer travels widely and has lectured in many countries. Her work has appeared in The Economist,Guardian and Independent. Ever since Rudyard Kipling lit her imagination as a child, Mary has wanted to write about him, and later, about his sister, Trix, whom she found just as compelling. She has published works of non-fiction, but for the intimate story she wanted to tell here she decided it had to be fiction. Kipling & Trix is her first novel.
