Cr�ticas:

“This lucidly-written book ostensibly concerns, and resolves, the mystery of Grace Oakeshott’s faked suicide in 1907 when she appeared to have drowned off the coast of Brittany. ... The author has written a readable and informative book which will appeal to those interested in local and social history as well as in, this often intriguing, biography.” (Brian Lancaster, CHNSS Bulletin, Vol. 157, September, 2016)

Rese�a del editor:

In 1907, Grace Oakeshott faked her own death by drowning. Aged 35, she left a marriage and a successful professional life in England and fled with her lover, Walter Reeve, to New Zealand. What prompted her to do so? Jocelyn Robson traces her life story through social, political and religious reform movements of the fin de si�cle period.
