It is not a fast paced thriller more a sustained, intensifying burn. The narrative moves steadily along although there are plenty of sections involved with the government of the time and with the history and actions of suffragettes. This man, Martin, soon gets embroiled in all sorts of plots,scheming and double bluffs but why? The book is literary, political, plenty of crime and intrigue, romantic and absorbing. Fast forward to the present and a man down on his luck is hired to discover why Edwin Strafford was cast aside all those years before.
His colleagues wont speak to him and the girl immediately leaves the country. He mysteriously loses his job and his fiancee and never finds out why. It follows the story of a man who is in the English cabinet before WW1 who falls in love with a suffragette. This is a book that doesn't neatly fit a genre.
