Set in Kilburn in 1873, this historical novel follows Mrs Eliza Touchet, a widowed Scottish housekeeper captivated by the Tichborne Trial. As England debates whether the defendant is the real heir or an imposter, Mrs Touchet navigates her own interests in literature, justice, and abolitionism. The story explores themes of truth and identity against a backdrop of societal and cultural tensions between Jamaica and Britain. It raises questions about who gets to tell their story and the nature of authenticity.
