Synopsis
A dark, gripping story of love and obsession from bestselling author Marina Fiorato.
London, 1853.
Annie Stride is a beautiful, flame-haired young woman from the East End of London. She is also a whore. On a bleak January night Annie stands on Waterloo Bridge, watching the icy waters of the Thames writhe beneath her as she contemplates throwing herself in. At the last minute she's rescued by a handsome young man.
Her saviour, Francis Maybrick Gill, is a talented artist. He takes Annie as his muse, painting her again and again and transforming her from a fallen woman into society's darling, taking her far away from her old life.
But there is darkness underpinning Annie's lavish new lifestyle. In London and in Florence, prostitutes are being murdered. There's someone out there who knows who Annie really is - and they won't let her forget where she came from...

Review
Praise for Marina Fiorato: Wonderful . . . hard to put down. A truly imaginative piece, both touching and delightful. - Jenny Agutter Fiorato has written a delightful, if undemanding, adventure story. Our heroine is feisty, the captain is dashing and the plot rollicks along. Great fun. - Times Richly detailed and evocative . . . an unforgettable historical love story. Beautifully written and worth losing yourself in. - Candis Magazine In Marina Fiorato's beautifully imagined novel, these two witty, fierce characters once again get to take centre stage . . . Not only does she fill out the details of the protagonists' lives, transforming them into characters with backgrounds, histories and contexts, but she creates meaningful and inventive narratives that inform the play . . . this book is a real pleasure. - We Love this Book/Bookseller Captures the scents, passion and vigour of Italy - Books Quarterly Entertaining and witty - Daily Mail Fiorato creates her own masterpiece - Booklist A great read - Best
