Description

When your life goes up in smoke, you can never go home.
'A firestorm of a novel. Davis reminds us that families often have secrets at their heart: ticking time bombs just waiting for a stray spark.' - Paul Murphy

Writing Magazine's Self-Published Book of the Year 2016

At the age of forty-six, Anita Hall knows exactly who she is. She has lived with partner Ed for fifteen years and is proud of the life they've built. They go out into the world separately: Ed with one eye on the future in the world of finance; Anita with one foot in the past, a curator at Hampton Court Palace. This is the life she's chosen - a dream job, an equal partnership, living in a quirky old house she adores. She is happy. Their foundations are solid and their future seems secure.

But that was before the fire.

Anita stands in the middle of the road watching her home and everything inside it burn to the ground. She and Ed are left with nothing more than the clothes on their backs.

Before she can come to terms with the magnitude of her terrible loss, hairline cracks begin to appear in her perfect relationship. And returning to her childhood home in search of comfort, she stumbles upon her mother's closely-guarded secret, something so unspeakable it can only be written down.

An emotional and thought-provoking story that examines loss, identity, submerged feelings and deeply buried secrets, An Unknown Woman will have you turning the pages right to the end.

'For me, one of the books of the year.' ~ The Bagster ?? ?? ?? ?? ??

'An intensely human story that feels ripped from the pages of someone's diary.' ~ Davida Chazan ?? ?? ?? ?? ??

'Few writers are so adept at capturing their characters' emotions. Recommended without reservation.' ~ Book Viral ?? ?? ?? ?? ??

'Jane Davis isn't just good; she's phenomenally good. Gutsy, powerful and honest in the best tradition of fiction, this is a book worth savoring.' ~ Debra Hewitt ?? ?? ?? ?? ??

'A beautiful writer with a unique voice and this comes through in every word.' ~ Wendy Jones, author ?? ?? ?? ?? ??

'Davis has a light touch. She writes with subtlety and nuance. And she does that most important of things, something many writers of literary fiction fail to do, she tells a good story.' ~ Angelia Reads ?? ?? ?? ?? ??
