The Dazzle of the Light - Georgina Clarke

Descriere The Dazzle of the Light - Georgina Clarke

\nA sparkling new historical novel set in the 1920s, inspired by the notorious all-female crime syndicate known as the Forty Thieves who operated out of the slums of south London\n \nRuby Mills is ruthlessly ambitious, strikingly beautiful - and one of the Forty Thieves' most talented members.\n \nHarriet Littlemore writes the women's section in a local newspaper. She's from a 'good' London family and engaged to an up-and-coming Member of Parliament - but she wants a successful career of her own.\n \nAfter witnessing Ruby fleeing the scene of a robbery, Harriet develops a fascination with the elusive young thief that extends beyond journalistic interest. As their personal aspirations bring them into closer contact than society's rules usually allow, Ruby and Harriet's stories become increasingly intertwined.\n \nTheir magnetic dynamic, fraught with envy and desire, tells a compulsive, cinematic story about class, morality and the cost of being an independent woman in 1920s London.\n
