Review: Strait Lace by Rosemary Hayward
I'm delighted to welcome author Rosemary Hayward to Ruins & Reading. Her fabulous new novel, Strait Lace, is about the suffragette movement. I'm reading it at the moment, and it's really fascinating. I'll be adding my review here in the next few days, so watch this space.
In the meantime, have a look what it's all about!
Strait Lace is currently on blog tour with The Coffee Pot Book Club. Find other fascinating tour stops, including excerpts, guest posts, and more, HERE!
It is 1905. Edwardian England.
Harriet Loxley, the daughter of a vicar and niece to a prominent Nottingham lace manufacturer, spends her days playing cricket with her brother, scouring the countryside for botanical specimens, and never missing an opportunity to argue the case for political power for women. Given the chance to visit the House of Commons, Harriet witnesses the failure of a historic bill for women’s voting rights. She also meets the formidable Pankhurst women.
When Harriet gets the chance to study biology at Bedford College, London, she finds her opportunity to be at the heart of the fight. From marching in the street, to speaking to hostile crowds, to hurling stones through windows, just how far will Harriet go?
