An expansive, inspiring feminist novel about one woman's rise as a racing driver in mid-century Britain. _________________ 'A commanding, expansive, confident novel turbocharged with courage and heart' JOSEPH O'CONNOR 'An exhilarating story of dauntless persistence in the face of prejudice' CARMELLA LOWKIS 'Surprising, engaging and deeply affecting' LISA SMITH _________________ It's 1945 and Winifred 'Freddy' Vaux fears she's the only person who isn't thrilled the war is over. With peace comes the end of her career as a military driver, commanding ambulances and recovery vehicles across London. All she wants is to drive and she still can - but not for her occupation and certainly not fast. Yet speeding through the city's war-torn streets one last time, she makes a resolution: she must pursue race car driving. No matter the cost. From the country lanes of her youth to Europe's most exhilarating tracks, Freddy's thunderous ambition takes her where no woman has gone before. However, travelling at such speeds means that friends and lovers can be lost in an instant. Freddy has a lot to learn. Driving was the easy part. ____________________ Praise for Kelly Frost: 'Compelling' Sunday Times 'A storyteller who is here to stay' Joseph O'Connor 'A startling new talent' Peter James

Reviews

A commanding, expansive, confident novel turbocharged with courage and heart -- Joseph O'Connor The Racing Line is an exhilarating story of dauntless persistence in the face of prejudice. I simply adored Freddy Vaux, a compellingly complex character who seems real enough to come freewheeling off the page at any moment. -- Carmella Lowkis
