SPIRITED

In Victorian England, Viola is an amateur photographer struggling with the grief of her father's death and the sterile atmosphere of her marriage to her childhood friend, Jonah. When she discovers a talent for capturing ghostly images on camera, Viola comes to the attention of a spirit medium with a mysterious past, and a powerful attraction sparks between the two women. Meanwhile, Jonah is haunted by the memories of his own secret and dangerous love. Driven by passionate, courageous female characters, and exploring themes of sexuality, gender and prejudice, this is Julie Cohen's first historical novel.
