A sweeping historical drama inspired by the generations of women who have fought for the right to their own freedoms, by the bestselling author of The Code Breakers. When violin virtuoso Laura Hartley's priceless instrument is stolen, more than just her celebrated European career disintegrates. Her rare gift of seeing music in colour fades to grey, silencing the sense of self she's always expressed through her performances. Fleeing to her grandmother's home in the Australian outback, Laura discovers an extraordinary legacy woven through sheets of music - a powerful symphony born from the revolutionary hearts of suffragettes who refused to be silenced. But as Laura traces each note of this forgotten masterpiece, she uncovers more than just music. She finds a story of women who dared to smash society's chains, claim their own destiny and fight for a world where every voice can be heard. When scandal rocks the tight-knit community, Laura must confront the question that has haunted generations of women before her- will she remain safely in the wings, or step forward and fight In this soaring tale of inheritance, courage and the fierce bonds between women across time, we're reminded that the most powerful revolutions often begin with a single voice - and that true freedom lies in finding the courage to become who we were always meant to be.
