'Captivating ... A highly accomplished historical novel' Washington
Post 'Superbly described ... achieves a subtle, disconcerting
effect' New York Review of Books In the dying days of the 19th
century, the world's eyes turn to the small South African town of
Ladysmith. Under siege from Boer forces, British soldiers and
townsfolk wait for rescue. They try to keep their spirits up with
parties and cricket matches, but General Buller's relief column
cannot break through. All that arrives is danger, disease and
starvation. Amongst a cast of characters ranging from Irish
Republican renegades to London literary editors, from Churchill to
Gandhi, is one young woman. For Bella Kiernan, the siege represents
an unexpected chance to rebel against constricting social and
domestic bonds and pursue a life of romance and adventure. From the
bestselling author of THE LAST KING OF SCOTLAND
General
