Publisher's Summary
The year is 1888. Sisters Eliza and Rebecca Moss work in the notorious match factory in London’s East End, where they are plagued by extortionate fines, cruel foremen and deadly phosphorus fumes. When the factory owner’s philandering son takes an interest in Eliza, Rebecca fears that her sister’s romantic nature may lead to disaster.
But the winds of change are in the air. Strident voices begin to champion the matchgirls’ cause. Will a high-profile strike pave the way for a new era, or destroy everything that Rebecca and Eliza have come to trust?
In this thrilling tale inspired by true historical events, two very different sisters navigate a complicated web of romance, class division, and revolutionary change.
