LONGLISTED FOR THE HISTORICAL WRITERS' ASSOCIATION DEBUT CROWN PRIZE





Mrs Wood is Londons most celebrated medium. Shes managed to survive decades in the competitive world of contacting the Other Side, has avoided the dreaded slips that revealed others as frauds and is still hosting packed-out séances for Victorian high society.



Yet, some of her patrons have recently cancelled their appointments. There are reports of American mediums nearly materialising full spirits and audiences are no longer satisfied with the knocking on tables and candle theatrics of years gone by. And then, at one of Mrs Woods routine gatherings, she hears something terrifying faint, but unmistakable: a yawn.



Mrs Wood needs to spice up her brand. She decides to take on Emmie, a young protégé, to join her show. But is Emmie Finch the naļve ingenue she seems to be? Or does she pose more of a threat to Mrs Woods reign and, more horrifyingly, her reputation than Mrs Wood could ever have imagined?

Intriguing, witty and unique. A must read! Sophie Irwin, author of A Ladys Guide to Fortune Hunting



Theres much fun to be had in this vivid, delightfully original debut Daily Mail



A charming debut that sparks with fun and fizz Good Housekeeping



'The Other Side of Mrs Wood drew me in with its promise of ambition and rivalry on the Victorian séance scene. I found myself alternating between laughing, crying and an unsightly mixture of both as I followed Mrs Woods journey to stay on top in an industry that prioritises youth and novelty. This is an absolute triumph of a debut' Stacey Thomas



Wonderfully entertaining Harpers Bazaar



Fans of Sarah Waters will love this clever debut Red Magazine



Engaging and wonderfully original Katie Fforde



Wildly entertaining and thoroughly gripping Readers Digest



Full of wit. Bubbling beneath its surface is a compelling commentary on the scant choices facing Victorian women determined to support themselves. Highly recommended Lianne Dillsworth, author of Theatre of Marvels



A joy to read, completely fresh and original with a wonderful cast of characters, featuring rival mediums, dark secrets and some truly delicious double-crossing. Witty, evocative writing, a huge treat of a novel Lucy Diamond



Think All About Eve, but set in the spellbinding world of Victorian mediums. Brilliantly witty' Frances Quinn, author of That Bonesetter Woman



Crackles with wit and mischief, a delicious read Louise Dean
