Summary
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?

EXCELLENT
Loved it... Heartbreakingly realistic, darkly compelling story of childhood twisted beliefs for self preservation and survival, still unsure if it's based on a true story or just fantastic writing

A remarkable story, well told.
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.
