The Book of Fires Book

The unforgettable story of Agnes Trussel is brought to life in The Book of Fires. Raised in rural Sussex, Agnes finds herself carrying an unwanted child at the age of just seventeen and takes advantage of her elderly neighbour's death by stealing her savings and running away to London. On the way, she encounters Lettice Talbot who promises her she will help her when they arrive in the city, although Agnes soon gets lost and ends up at the household of firework-maker John Blacklock, becoming his first female assistant. As time goes on, it becomes increasingly difficult for Agnes to conceal her secret and after meeting a seller of gunpowder, she hatches a plan that could save her from ruin. Historical fiction at its best, Jane Borodale's much-acclaimed novel is intriguing, compelling and impossible to put down.Read More
