Meer over het boek

The novel intricately weaves the life story of Mary Jane Kelly, the final victim of Jack the Ripper, with that of her descendant, a Welsh veterinary surgeon grappling with her mother's dementia. As she uncovers Mary Jane's past—from her Welsh origins to her tragic end in London's East End—her own life unravels, revealing haunting connections to her ancestor. The narrative explores themes of family history, trauma, and the intertwining of lives across generations, culminating in unexpected twists and emotional revelations as both women search for one another.
