Inhaltsangabe

‘All the world’s a stage,’ and Violet Frogg is playing many parts.

Like Anna Veronica she escapes from a stifling family home only to find herself trapped in a Doll’s House. There, like Nora, Violet eventually bucks the system and decides to leave a husband who disapproves of her association with the suffragists. In the world of work, as assistant to the acting manager of Herbert Tree’s theatre company, she is at risk of turning into Vivie of Mrs Warren’s Profession: a woman who eschews love and attachment for career and independence. When her past catches up with her Violet goes on the run again and this time finds herself in the role of Downton Abbey’s housekeeper Mrs Carson.

Who is Violet? How hard can it be for a young woman to live her own life in turn-of-the-20th century Britain?

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Patsy Trench was born in England to an Australian mother and Anglo-Irish father. She began her working life as an actress, in the UK and in Australia, where highlights were performing alongside local legends Chips Rafferty and Skippy the Bush Kangaroo (not at the same time). She has been a scriptwriter, script editor, playscout and lyricist, and co-founder of The Children's Musical Theatre of London, creating devised musicals shows with primary school-aged children. She is the mother of two adult children and lives in London with a Freedom Pass. When not writing books she organises theatre tours and teaches theatre part-time at Kingston University to visiting students from overseas. Her hobbies are rag-rugging and fossicking for ancient artefacts on the Thames foreshore.
