Produktbeschreibung

London, 1908. Clara Ashford has spent her life playing by society's rules-working quietly as a secretary, keeping her opinions to herself, and hoping that patience will bring progress for women. But when a chance encounter at a suffragette rally awakens something fierce within her, Clara finds herself drawn into a dangerous world of protest, civil disobedience, and radical activism.

As she navigates the growing tensions between respectability and rebellion, Clara discovers an unexpected ally in Oliver Dacre, a principled Liberal MP who risks his political career to support the cause of women's suffrage. Their connection deepens from mutual respect to something far more profound, but their different positions in society-and their conflicting views on how far the movement should go-threaten to tear them apart.

When Lady Margaret Fairfax, a charismatic aristocrat leading the militant faction of the suffragette movement, recruits Clara for increasingly daring acts of protest, Clara must decide how much she's willing to sacrifice for justice. Her choices will cost her employment, her reputation, and ultimately her freedom, testing not only her commitment to the cause but also the strength of her relationship with Oliver.

Set against the vibrant backdrop of Edwardian London, The Ballot And The Heart is a sweeping tale of courage, conviction, and love in an era when women dared to demand their rightful place in democracy. Rich in historical detail and emotional depth, this novel brings to life the passion and peril of the suffragette movement, celebrating the ordinary women who fought extraordinary battles for the rights we take for granted today.

A story of transformation, sacrifice, and the power of finding one's voice in a world determined to silence it.
