'They say I must be put to
death for what happened to Madame, and they want me to confess. But how can I
confess what I don't believe I've done?'
1826, and all of London is
in a frenzy. Crowds gather at the gates of the Old Bailey to watch as Frannie
Langton, maid to Mr and Mrs Benham, goes on trial for their murder. The
testimonies against her are damning - slave, whore, seductress. And they may be
the truth. But they are not the whole truth.
For the first time Frannie
must tell her story. It begins with a girl learning to read on a plantation in
Jamaica, and it ends in a grand house in London, where a beautiful woman waits
to be freed.
But through her fevered
confessions, one burning question haunts Frannie Langton: could she have
murdered the only person she ever loved?
A haunting tale about one
woman's fight to tell her story, The Confessions of Frannie Langton leads
you through laudanum-laced dressing rooms and dark-as-night alleys, into the
heart of Georgian London.
