An empowering thought-provoking feminist novel that will change the way you see the world. Perfect for fans of Elizabeth Day Claire Fuller and Joanna Cannon.

1968. Veronica Moon a junior photographer for a local newspaper is frustrated by her (male) colleagues' failure to take her seriously. And then she meets Leonie on the picket line of the Ford factory at Dagenham. So begins a tumultuous passionate and intoxicating friendship. Leonie is ahead of her time and fighting for women's equality with everything she has. She offers Veronica an exciting free life at the dawn of a great change.

Fifty years later Leonie is gone and Veronica leads a reclusive life. Her groundbreaking career was cut short by one of the most famous photographs of the twentieth century.

Now that controversial picture hangs as the centrepiece of a new feminist exhibition curated by Leonie's niece. Long-repressed memories of Veronica's extraordinary life begin to stir. It's time to break her silence and step back into the light.
