'Moving and masterful . . . transports you to 18th-century Scotland and says as much about modern life as it does about those harrowing times' - Janice Hallett, bestselling author of The Appeal
Inspired by an infamous real-life case, The Mourning Necklace is the unforgettable new feminist historical novel from the Women's Prize-longlisted author of The Maiden, Kate Foster.
They said I would swing for the crime and I did . . . I wear the rope-mark like a mourning necklace.
1724. In a tavern just outside Edinburgh, the family of Maggie Dickson - hanged for the murder of her newborn child - drown their sorrows, mourning her death yet relieved she is gone. Shame haunts them; passers-by avert their eyes from her cheap coffin on its rickety cart.
But as her family pray her soul rests in peace, a figure appears at the door.
It is Maggie. She is alive.
Bruised and dazed, Maggie has little time for her family's questions. All that matters to her is answering one: will they hang her twice?
Praise for Kate Foster:
'Riveting . . . The tension persists until the last page' - The Times
'Tense, thrilling . . . with a decidedly feminist slant' - Daily Mail
'Kate excels at bringing the forgotten women of history back to life and giving them the attention they deserve' - Claire Evans, author of The Fourteenth Letter
'Captivating . . . Scratch beneath the surface of a Kate Foster novel and all of life is there in the most elegant prose' - Marion Todd, author of the bestselling DI Clare Mackay series
'Brilliant . . . the new Hilary Mantel' - Tina Baker, author of What We Did In The Storm
