Overview

It is the 1890s and Violet Frogg is on the run.

First from her stifling family home in a village near London, then from a marriage in a swanky house in Bloomsbury and a brief dally with suffragists, lastly from a fulfilling position working for Herbert Beerbohm Tree, renowned actor-manager, in the heart of London's West End.

What is Violet running from? Or to?

How many lives can a young woman inhabit before she finds one that fits?

Or is real happiness too much for a young woman to ask for in turn-of-the-century England?
