Description
Already a Sunday Times bestselling author with her first novel, A Map of the Damage confirms Sophia Tobin as a rising star. Stunning historical fiction for fans of Tracy Chevalier.
Both of our love affairs began with violence. Charlotte's with a carriage accident; mine, with a bomb.
A Map of the Damage is a story of two love triangles, separated by a century, and of two women embattled by notions of class, passion and femininity: Livy, a young woman living through the Blitz, and Charlotte, a wealthy married woman of the 1840s.
