London, 1835. Kate Hogarth falls in love with a young Charles Dickens but as his fame rises, her place in his story begins to shrink. Meanwhile, orphan Anne Brown is drawn into the Dickens household, where opportunity and loyalty come at a cost.
Acclaimed for her richly drawn historical fiction, Emily Howes returns with a gripping, compassionate novel that asks: what happens when the greatest storyteller controls the narrative?
