I want your reputation, the girl said to Mrs Wood. I want everything you have





Mrs Wood is the Londons most celebrated medium, having survived decades in the competitive world of contacting the Other Side hosting packed-out séances for Victorian high society.



But, with rival young mediums dazzling audiences across the city, the allure of Londons most established star might be starting to wane. And then, at one of her routine gatherings, she hears something truly terrifying: a yawn.



So, Mrs Wood takes on a young protégé to spice up her show. But does her new pupil pose more of a threat to Mrs Woods reputation than she could imagined?

I absolutely ADORED it. Such a juicy read and written so beautifully. Charming, gorgeous, an utter delight Marian Keyes



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
