One of the leading lights in feminist historical fiction, Halls - author of The Familiars and The Foundling - explores the strict confines of Edwardian marriage in her third novel. We meet Ruby, a nurse who is charged with taking care of the offspring of Charles and Lilian England, but it soon becomes clear that her new role isn't as cushy as it seems. An atmospheric story of power and deception.
