The Stolen Lines

Edith Pugh married London's most celebrated playwright believing she'd found a partner for her mind — only to discover he'd been ransacking her private writings for years. Set against the gaslit glamour of the Victorian stage, this is the story of a woman who sacrificed her own voice to burnish a man's reputation, and the dangerous, exhilarating fight to reclaim it. With powerful allies and ruthless enemies, Edith must risk everything — her marriage, her standing, her future — to prove the words were always hers.
