Lady Constance was born into great privilege; her family home was
the vast estate of Knebworth, and her father was Viceroy of India.
So how did this woman travel from her cosseted upbringing to a
punishment cell in a Liverpool gaol, where she was known only by
her nom de guerre of 'Jane Warton'? In an epic feat of the
imagination, Katie Ward recreates Constance's journey, as towards
the end of her life she confides her secrets, her triumphs, her
hopes, dreams and disappointments to her psychiatrist, Homer Lane.
The portrait that emerges is of a lively, intelligent, vivacious
and energetic woman who was prepared to fight to the death for what
she believed in - not only against the forces of reaction, but also
against those she held most dear.
