Publisher's Synopsis
Set in 1912, the death of Adelaide Granby, a popular author of Victorian melodramas, prompts her suffragette niece Pamela to seek the real-life source of her romantic sensibility. Recollections, letters and poems from Adelaide's archive are mined for possible clues, and a full draft of her unpublished bodice-ripper of a first novel features. Nostalgia and poignancy colour Pamela's investigation as reputations shift and naivety is shaken.
