An exotic drama in which one man’s
mysterious disappearance brings a dark end to three other people. What would
it take to destroy an Irish girl who had survived famine and war in Ireland,
and a hazardous journey across the Atlantic Ocean, to become a servant-wife
on an island where God’s truth and the Devil’s tale are entwined as tight as
the strands of a rope?
This novel is based on the true
story of the last woman hanged in Britain’s oldest colony, the only woman in
the colony to have a gruesome sentence – the ultimate desecration – carried
out on her body.
A novel in which truth lies
suspended between fact and fiction.
A haunting mystery.
