About this listen

Carolyn Kirby's stunning debut takes the listener on a heart-breaking journey through Victorian Birmingham and questions where we first learn violence: from our scars or from our hearts.

Birmingham, 1885. Born in a gaol and raised in a workhouse, Cora Burns has always struggled to control the violence inside her. Haunted by memories of a terrible crime, she seeks a new life working as a servant in the house of scientist Thomas Jerwood.

Here, Cora befriends a young girl, Violet, who seems to be the subject of a living experiment. But is Jerwood also secretly studying Cora?

Critic reviews

“Rich in gothic darkness and period detail.” (Amanda Jennings)

Most relevant

a brilliant evocation of time and place. it is very bleak, especially at the outset but is well with persistence because it is a fine and well balanced story.
