Old Baggage

Mattie is an ex-suffragette, one who is looking for new battles to fight. She is a captivating creation, a force of nature but one perilously close to being spent. This is the story of how she finds a new purpose, and everything that falls out from that. It's funny and engaging, pointed and angry. A very good read (and if you want more of Mattie, you can find her a decade or so later in Lissa Evans's previous book, Crooked Heart)
