Sarah Collins' extraordinary literary debut, awarded the prestigious Costa Prize and praised by authors of the stature of Margaret Atwood, tells us about a woman who, with everything against her, decides to take control of her own story.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrannie Langton is a mulatto and illegitimate maid, of Jamaican origin, who arrives in London to be delivered, almost as an exotic gift, to a renowned scientist and his wife. The murder of the couple, of which the maid is accused, is a scandal: the newspapers portray her as a monster, despite the fact that she remembers nothing of the night the deaths occurred. It will be her lawyer who asks her to narrate her life, since in that story lies the only possibility of saving herself from the gallows. Is Frannie on time to tell her story?
