The Fair Fight is a hugely exciting and entertaining novel, written with warmth, charm, authority and, above all, terrific flair. I loved it. (SARAH WATERS)
(A) cracking debut... It is a lively, rambunctious read which captures Bristol street life brilliantly and niftily sets the scene for a memorable collection of characters who are prepared to gamble everything to gain hope and some form of happiness. (Eithne Farry SUNDAY EXPRESS)
Anna Freeman's familiarity with this rough and raunchy period of history and her wonderfully imagined cast of characters, often down but never out, makes this a brilliant debut novel. (Rose Wild THE TIMES)
This storming debut is fiction at its most absorbing. It'll be first in line for Freeman's next offering. (Kat Poole STYLIST)
For lovers of the evocative historical romps of Sarah Waters and Michel Faber this is a visceral and funny debut. (EMERALD STREET)
(Anna's) enthusiasm for the subject matter and her skill at creating powerful narrative voices are in strong evidence in this gritty, vividly evoked historical novel. Fans of Sarah Waters and Emma Donoghue, take note. (DIVA MAGAZINE)
An accomplished first novel that reminded me somewhat of Peter Carey's Jack Maggs. (NED DENNY DAILY MAIL)
lively and original (THE SUNDAY TIMES)
Passion and pugilism ...(an) original, memorable debut novel. (Nick Rennison BBC HISTORY MAGAZINE)
Freeman's first novel is shocking but a cracker. The writing is good and the characters totally believable. I loved it. (LESLEY PEARSE SAINBURYS MAGAZINE)
I sat before my tambour hoop but I did not sew. I thought of split lips, flying teeth and red blood on white linen.
Born in a Bristol brothel at the end of the eighteenth century, Ruth Webber, her toe upon the scratch, is ready to face all comers.
Lady Charlotte Sinclair, scarred with small pox and bullied by her boorish brother, is on the verge of smashing the bonds of convention that have held her for so long.
George Bowden, without inheritance or title, is prepared to do whatever it takes to make his way in the world.
Let the fight begin . . .
