Sister Noon

Words were invented so that lies could be told

San Francisco in the 1890s is a town of contradictions, home to a respectable middle class, but with the Wild West lingering in the imagination - and the behaviour - of some residents. Lizzie Hayes spends her days fundraising for the Ladie's Relief and Protection Society's home for children, but her dull life is about to shaken up. The mysterious and powerful Mrs Pleasant appears at the orphanage one day with a child in town, providing the spark that is Lizzie's liberation. With all of the wit, style and insight of Fowler's hit 'We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves', the beguilingly different 'Sister Noon' will surprise and delight readers.
