It is the 1890s and Violet Frogg is on the run.

From her stifling family home in a village outside London to married life in a swanky house in Bloomsbury and a husband who disapproves of her involvement with the suffragists.

Each new life involves a change of name and status.

What is Violet running from? Or to? How many identities can a young woman embrace before she finds one that fits?

Or is true happiness too much for a young woman to ask for in turn-of-the-century England?
