2025 Shortlist Ngaio Marsh Award for Best First Novel
It’s 1918, in a Wellington that few people would recognise today, and two major events are about to collide: the signing of the Armistice to end World War I, and the soldier-borne plague we now call the Spanish flu. Into this comes Wellington’s only female lawyer, leading her group of Sapphist friends as they attempt to strike a blow for women’s freedom. They go head-to-head with the authorities while she finds herself acting as Crown prosecutor in the case of a wealthy socialite’s \”murder\” of her husband by kissing him.
This powerful, hilarious, and evocative portrait of life in Edwardian New Zealand is the work of a barrister turned history teacher and will take the reader on an unforgettable journey.
