Two women, two lives, two very different fates. Josephine is one of
the very few female journalists in Victorian England – not a job
for a respectable young woman. Her chosen path is far from easy but
she's determined and courageous. Harriet is content to drift from
one opportunity to another, from man to man, living by her singing,
resorting to prostitution when times get tough. It's a turbulent,
unpredictable life – a way of life which ultimately leads to her
untimely end. Josephine is horrified and yet fascinated by the
case. If circumstances had been different, Harriet's fate could
have been her own. The two women are close in age, their families
not so very different. What made one life turn out this way? Betty
Burton has based this novel on a real-life tragedy and turns her
storytelling talents to exploring the background. She writes of
what it means to be a woman in a man's world – be it the ultimate
victim with no control or the one who dares to try to break the
mould.
