Description
The Book of Fires by Jane Borodale is a gripping historical novel that tells the story of Agnes Trussel's journey to redemption. After being forced into an unwanted pregnancy, Agnes flees her rural home in Sussex and makes her way to London, where she becomes embroiled in a complex web of relationships and secrets.
As Agnes navigates the dark and labyrinthine city, she finds herself drawn to two men: John Blacklock, a laconic firework-maker, and Cornelius Soul, a seller of gunpowder. But as their paths converge, Agnes must confront the reasons behind John's vehement disapproval of Cornelius, and the secrets that threaten to destroy her own future.
This utterly intriguing and compelling novel is a testament to the power of historical fiction, with its complex characters, intricate plot twists, and unputdownable pace. With its vivid portrayal of life in early 20th-century London, The Book of Fires is a worthwhile read for fans of literary fiction and historical drama.
