Beschreibung
They wrote ballads, ran coffee houses, lived on country estates, they breathed ink-dust from printing presses and escaped people-traffickers. What they had in common was the year of their murders: 1888.Their murderer was never identified, but the name created for him has become far more famous than any of these five women. Historian Hallie Rubenhold finally sets the record straight, and gives these women back their stories. Winner of the Baillie Gifford Prize for Non-Fiction.
