Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Gail Holmes has written a beautiful, compelling and emotionally rich story about a woman who wrote herself into the margins of books at a time when women were voiceless. An extraordinary debut. I loved it. Pip Williams, bestselling author of The Dictionary of Lost Words and The Bookbinder of Jerichorichly imagined' Sydney Morning HeraldA beautiful evocation of quiet heroism in a time of disinformation, war and religious bigotry. Holmes writes with nuance, empathy and grace, revealing and honouring the experience of Frances and the community of women around her.Emily Maguire, author of Rapture and An Isolated IncidentWe are the spaces between the words. Inspired by a real person, In the Margins is the story of spirited book-collector Frances Wolfrestonthe woman who uniquely preserved the earliest part of Shakespeares legacy. England, 1647. As civil war gives way to an uneasy peace and Puritanism becomes the letter of the law, Frances Wolfreston, a rector's wife, is charged with enforcing religious compliance by informing on her parishioners. This awful task triggers memories of her mother, Alice, who inspired Francess love of books and secretly practised Catholicism at great risk. Conflicted, she doesnt report a reclusive and mysterious midwife to delay her going to gaol. As Frances takes increasingly bold steps to help the women and children of the parish, she attracts the ire of a patron of the church who questions why Frances collects books that she charges are entertainment. When her mother is gaoled for religious crimes, the secrets Frances hides from her husband begin to surface, and she is faced with an impossible choice: comply with the strict dictates of the new laws, or risk everything to free the women she cares for. In this tender and powerful work of imagination, the life of a remarkable woman who wrote and lived in the margins in a time when women's voices went unheard is restored to history. Beautifully written and deeply moving, In the Margins is a testament to the way literature can illuminate our inner lives and set us free when the world around us is covered in darkness.PRAISE FOR IN THE MARGINS:A compelling, beautifully written story of a spirited, principled woman ahead of her time. Good WeekendThe significance of this novel goes beyond Holmess beautiful narrative voice and illuminates a hero known to us solely because the real Frances Wolfreston signed her name in each of her books. In an era marked by low female literacy rates and limited womens ownership rights, this highlights the immense value Wolfreston placed on her books and underscores our progress since then. This deeply moving debut will appeal to fans of Pip Williams The Bookbinder of Jericho and Kayte Nunns The Silk House. Books+PublishingA riveting novel of women's solidarity and Shakespeare amidst the societal limitations of Puritan England. Holmes rekindles the intriguing story of Frances Wolfreston in this accomplished debut. Eleanor Limprecht, author of The Coast and The PassengersIn lyrical, powerful prose, Gail Holmes lures us into the repressive world of seventeenth-century England, bringing it to life through the eyes of Frances Wolfreston, rectors wife, keeper of secrets, collector of books and careful observer. Beautifully written, In the Margins is a captivating novel: vivid, wise and moving. S Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
