The Maiden is a remarkable story with a feminist revisionist twist that gives voices to women
otherwise silenced by history.    In the end  it did not matter what I said at my trial. No one
believed me.    Edinburgh  October 1679. Lady Christian is arrested and charged with the murder
of her lover  James Forrester. News of her imprisonment and subsequent trial is splashed across
the broadsides  with headlines that leave little room for doubt: Adulteress. Whore. Murderess.
Only a year before  Lady Christian was newly married  leading a life of privilege and
respectability. So  what led her to risk everything for an affair? And does that make her
guilty of murder? She wasn't the only woman in Forrester's life  and certainly not the only one
who might have had cause to wish him dead . . .   'Exceptional - a tense  thrilling
investigation  with a decidedly feminist slant ' - Daily Mail    'Riveting . . . the tension
persists until the last page' - The Times    *The Maiden was longlisted for the Women's Prize
for Fiction on 05 03 2024
