Overview

London 1928. Twenty-two-year-old Irene Savidge, a factory worker, dreams of going on the stage. She meets a member of the Establishment who promises he will introduce her to influential people. The couple's arrest for sexual misconduct in Hyde Park leads to a national scandal which permeates the very top of government, splashes lurid headlines across newspapers around the world and ultimately leads to a judicial review. This is the true story of the police force's treatment of women, the power of money and the English class system. Beautifully told, with a richness of characterisation and depth of description which put the reader at the heart of a very different world a hundred years ago; it could be plucked from today's tabloids and social media.
