In 1973, Myra Hindley, the most notorious woman in Britain, is
serving a life sentence for the moors murders - a case that shocked
the world. Behind bars she has fallen in love. When Hindley is
refused parole she persuades a sympathetic prison officer and
former nun to help her break out of London's grim Holloway prison.
The women plan to run away together to Brazil. Twenty years after
Hindley's death, this extraordinary true story is brought to life
in vivid new detail by Howard Sounes, author of the true crime
classic Fred & Rose, drawing on unseen prison files and new
interviews with former Holloway inmates, prison officers and
detectives. It is a tale of infatuation and manipulation, crime and
punishment. Despite her part in the appalling murders of five
children and teenagers, Myra Hindley is revealed as a highly
complex woman of intelligence and charm, which she used to get what
she wanted. Or was she, as her supporters claimed, a misunderstood
person who regretted her past and only attempted to escape out of
desperation? Revealing the 'most wicked woman in Britain' in new
light, This Woman is an atmospheric prison story and a love story
that will make readers think again about the woman behind the moors
murders.
