Description
The lives of two very different women cross over in the most remarkable way, in this sparkling historical mystery from bestselling author Celia Imrie.
ENGLAND, 1814
Becky Thomas is an actress, born into the world of the travelling theatrical company. She has never known anything except the hustle and bustle of theatre, and the thrills and spills of life on the road. All the world is a stage – but who is playing what part?
Elizabeth Coventry is the daughter of a judge. Unlucky in love, she longs for adventure away from her stifling parents – but she might get more than she bargained for when a handsome soldier crosses her path…
When Becky is forced to abandon a fellow actress's baby son on the doorstep of Elizabeth's family, she sets in motion an astonishing series of events, that sees their fates intertwined for a lifetime.
From the murky backstreets of London to the glory of the stage, from high society to the lowest of the low, from the perils of touring England's towns to the beauty of Nice, an astounding mystery unfolds, bursting with intricate strands and thrilling twists and turns.
