In this astonishing Folio Prize-shortlisted novel, Alice Jolly gives joyful, poetic voice to the silenced women of the past

An original slant on the family saga genre from the PEN Ackerley-winning author of "Dead Babies & Seaside Towns".

Mary Ann Sate's hare-lip saw her persecuted for bearing the 'devil's mark', dismissed as a half-wit and recorded only as an 'imbecile' in the 1887 death register. In this fictional found memoir, Alice Jolly proposes there was more to Mary Ann than this, imbuing the silenced women of the past with a poetic and insightful voice in this rich portrait of Mary Ann's life.

Her decision not to hide but to share them, without a trace of sentiment or self-pity, turns Dead Babies and Seaside Towns into a universal story: one that begins in tragedy but ends in joy.

In this beautifully written book, Alice Jolly gives a personal and hopeful account of stillbirth, surrogacy and finding solace in seaside towns. It is a universal story that starts with tragedy but ends in joy and hope.
