Ann-Marie Howell

Author of Stolen Things

Wednesday 11th November

Join us on Wednesday 11th November when we welcome author Ann-Marie Howell to Harris & Harris Books to talk to us about her brand new historical novel – Stolen Things.

Isolated and unheard.
This is a claustrophobic, dark, and moving portrait of a woman who must decide how far she’s willing to go to protect her child and her home.
He thinks me mad; he thinks me quite mad.

Perhaps I am. December 1919. War widow Della Pemberton consoles herself through a life of petty theft and her beloved tonic for ‘female disorders’.

But, when a stranger arrives at her home claiming it belongs to him, her world is upended when she discovers the man’s left behind a small baby. The arrival of the child thrusts Della into a frightening new reality after a series of unexplained events; the delivery of baby gifts, an infant’s bone found in the attic, and peculiar noises within the walls of the house at night. When she receives a note predicting she’ll commit murder, Della realises someone is out to do her harm.

But with her own health worsening and a small baby to care for, she discovers that fighting for the truth and her life will come at the highest of prices.

An historical suspense novel that would be great for fans of Stacey Halls, Jessie Burton, Lizzie Pook, and Laura Purcell.
