'Deep-diving and elegant' Margaret Atwood 'Takes the gothic genre
by the scruff of the neck' Bernadine Evaristo ----- 'They say I
must be put to death for what happened to Madame, and they want me
to confess. But how can I confess what I don't believe I've done?'
1826, and all of London is in a frenzy. Crowds gather at the gates
of the Old Bailey to watch as Frannie Langton, maid to Mr and Mrs
Benham, goes on trial for their murder. The testimonies against her
are damning - slave, whore, seductress. And they may be the truth.
But they are not the whole truth. For the first time Frannie must
tell her story. It begins with a girl learning to read on a
plantation in Jamaica, and it ends in a grand house in London,
where a beautiful woman waits to be freed. But through her fevered
confessions, one burning question haunts Frannie Langton: could she
have murdered the only person she ever loved? A haunting tale about
one woman's fight to tell her story, The Confessions of Frannie
Langton leads you through laudanum-laced dressing rooms and
dark-as-night alleys, into the heart of Georgian London. WINNER OF
THE COSTA BOOK AWARDS FIRST NOVEL PRIZE 2019 SHORLISTED FOR HWA
DEBUT CROWN 2020 WATERSTONES BOOK OF THE MONTH ----- 'A dazzling
page-turner' Emma Donoghue 'A star in the making' Sunday Times
