Read Online‘And suddenly Julia became muddled between this world that she knew so well and which she knew was the real world, and the peepshow she had just been living in for a fraction of time.’
Based on the events of a sensational murder trial in the 1920s – the Thompson/Bywaters case – this work of fiction follows the life of Julia Almond as she pursues a successful career but enters into a stifling and unfulfilling marriage. Bored, frustrated and prone to flights of fancy, she begins a passionate affair which has deadly consequences. Tennyson Jesse creates a flawed, doomed heroine in a novel of creeping unease that continues to haunt long after the last page is turned.
