Dazzle of the Light

Trade Paperback

Ruby Mills is ruthlessly ambitious, strikingly beautiful - and one of the Forty Thieves most talented members. Harriet Littlemore is an aspiring journalist from a good family, engaged to a rising star of the Tory party - but she wants a successful career of her own. After witnessing Ruby fleeing the scene of a robbery, Harriet develops a fascination with the young thief that extends beyond journalistic interest. As their personal aspirations bring them into closer contact than society s rules usually allow, Ruby and Harriet s stories become increasingly intertwined. Their magnetic dynamic, fraught with envy and desire, tells a compulsive, cinematic story about class, morality and the cost of being an independent woman in 1920s London.
