A GUARDIAN, TELEGRAPH AND FINANCIAL TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR BRITAIN,
WITH THE WRONG QUEEN. 1955. Britain remains a Protectorate of
Germany. The assassination of the Leader on British soil provoked
violent retribution and intensified repression of British citizens,
particularly women. Now, more than ever, the Protectorate is a
place of surveillance and isolation - a land of spies. The royal
family has been usurped, and the widowed Queen Wallis reigns in
their place. Yet some citizens hold out hope that Elizabeth may one
day return. Rose Ransom marvels that she's even alive. A mere
woman, her role in the Leader's death has been miraculously
overlooked. Her work now focuses on the outlawed subject of Poetry,
a form of writing that transmits subversive meanings. Therefore all
Poetry is banned and Rose is appointed a Poet Hunter. President
Eisenhower is to make a state visit to Britain and Rose is tasked
with visiting Queen Wallis to brief her. She finds Wallis in a
state of paranoia, desperate to return to her American homeland.
She claims she has a secret document so explosive that it will blow
the Protectorate apart - should she dare to reveal it. PRAISE FOR
