The highly anticipated second volume in the popular 'Woman and the Witch' trilogy
It’s 1959, New Year’s Eve. Paris. Frieda Beaudry can’t go on. Forty years of doing exactly what she wants has taken its toll. Not even a week at the Ritz can restore her spirits.
Banished to a tiny village perched on dangerous cliffs, Frieda looks for peace. Instead, she uncovers a monstrous secret, and the day a child goes missing she is forced to make a terrible decision.
‘You’ve always been a coward, Frieda. You’ve never stood and fought. You’re selfish, vain, and destructive.’
Is Frieda too old to change? Maybe it’s time to stop running?
Amanda Larkman was born in a hospital as it was being bombed during a revolution. The rest of her upbringing, in the countryside of Kent, has been relatively peaceful.
She graduated with a degree in English Literature degree and an MA in Modern Literature and has taught English for many years. 'The Woman and the Witch' was her first novel.
Hobbies include trying to find the perfect way to make popcorn, watching her mad labradoodle run like a galloping horse, and reading brilliant novels that make her feel bitter and jealous.
She has a husband and two teenage children, all of whom are far nicer than the characters in her book.
