In 1920, anarchists Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti were accused of a robbery and double murder at a factory in Massachusetts. The case became one of the most notorious miscarriages of justice of the twentieth century.

The Anarchist's Wife is a poignant historical fiction novella which reimagines this American tragedy from the perspective of Rosa Sacco. Her husband was likely innocent of the crime he was accused of, but his possible involvement in anarchist violence was a far murkier question.

"Moving, insightful and beautifully observed: The Anarchist's Wife is an absolute gem of a novel." ― Elizabeth Brooks, author of The House in the Orchard

"This is a good read as a 'story' but if you look further into the documented facts and news reports it becomes so much more. A well written and fascinating insight into a real life drama." ― LoveReading
