Description
Widowland is a gripping alternative history with a strong feminist twist, set in an alternate 1953 where a Grand Alliance between Great Britain and Germany has been formalized. In this world, the role of women is a subject of great interest to the ruling power, and a young woman named Rose Ransom is tasked with infiltrating the run-down slums of Widowland to uncover the source of a growing rebellion.
As the country prepares for the Coronation ceremony of King Edward and Queen Wallis, Rose must navigate the treacherous landscape of a society where women have been stripped of their rights and power. With the fate of the nation hanging in the balance, Rose's mission becomes a desperate bid to quash the insurgency and restore order.
This thrilling novel is suited to readers of dystopian fiction and historical suspense, with a unique and compelling vision of a world that could have been.
