A New York Times Bestselling Author
The year is 1901. England's queen has died, and her aging son has taken the throne. In the eastern city of Norwich, bright and inquisitive young Edith Holler spends her days among the boisterous denizens of the Holler Theatre, warned by her domineering father that the playhouse will literally tumble down if she should ever leave its confines. Fascinated by tales of the city she knows only from afar, she decides to write a play of her own. But when her father suddenly announces his engagement to a woman named Margaret Unthank, heir to the Beetle Spread fortune, Edith scrambles to protect her father, the theatre, and her play from the newcomer's sinister designs.
