Evelyn Giffordová

Tato série sleduje osudy mladé ženy, která se navzdory společenským očekáváním prosadila v tehdy výhradně mužské profesi právničky. Zasazena do období po první světové válce, vyprávění zkoumá osobní tragédie, rodinné vztahy a snahu o nalezení vlastního místa ve světě. Hrdinčin boj s minulostí a snaha o nezávislost rezonují napříč pohnutou historickou dobou. Jedná se o poutavé vyprávění o síle, odhodlání a hledání smyslu života.

    The page-turning sequel to THE CRIMSON ROOMS by the author of bestselling Richard & Judy Book Club pick, THE ROSE OF SEBASTOPOL. London, 1926. Evie Gifford, one of the first female lawyers in Britain, is not a woman who lets convention get in her way. She has left her family home following a devastating love affair, much to her mother's disapproval. London is tense in the days leading up to the General Strike and Evelyn throws herself into two very different cases - one involving a family with links to the unions and the other a rich man who claims not to be the father of his wife's child. Evie is confronting the hardest challenge of her career when she is faced with an unexpected proposal - just as her former lover returns. How can she possibly choose between security with a man she admires and passion for the man who betrayed her?
