No one believed me."Edinburgh, October 1679. Lady Christian Nimmo is arrested and charged with the murder of her lover, James Forrester. News of her imprisonment and subsequent trial is splashed across the broadsides, with headlines that leave little room for doubt: Adulteress. Whore. Murderess. Only a year before, Christian was leading a life of privilege and respectability. So, what led her to risk everything for an affair? And does that make her guilty of murder? She wasn't the only woman in Forrester's life, and certainly not the only one who might have had cause to wish him dead . . .Inspired by a real-life case, The Maiden gives a voice to women otherwise silenced by history. A remarkable story with a feminist revisionist twist, it clearly marks Kate Foster as a name to watch. Biographical NoteKate Foster has been a national newspaper journalist for over twenty years. Growing up in Edinburgh, she became fascinated by its history and often uses it as inspiration for her stories. The Maiden the Bloody Scotland Pitch Perfect 2020 prize for new writers.
