The Secrets They Wrote Paperback

Book One of the Secrets Series · Historical Fiction

History remembers the men who published. It forgets the women who kept the record — and the truths they folded away inside it.

In the first novel of the Secrets Series, Jill George turns to two of literature's most formidable women — Mary Elizabeth Braddon and Virginia Woolf — and the private truths that shadowed their public pages. Across a windswept coast of lighthouses and long secrets, their stories braid together into a single, luminous meditation on what women were permitted to write down, what they were forced to hide, and what survived anyway.

Richly imagined and beautifully told, The Secrets They Wrote gives voice to the keepers of the record and the secrets they guarded within it.

"Historical fiction at its finest." — Kirkus Reviews ("Get It")
