‘Time and again, Emma Donoghue writes books that are unlike
anything I have ever seen before.’ Ann Patchett
‘Emma Donoghue is one of the great literary ventriloquists of our
time. Her imagination is kaleidoscopic. She steps borders and
boundaries with great ease and style. In her hands the centuries
dissolve, and then they crystallize back again into powerful words
on the page.’ Colum McCann
Emma Donoghue follows her bestseller Room with Frog Music. Set
during a smallpox epidemic in San Francisco in 1876 and based on a
true story, a burlesque dancer sets out to bring her friend's
murderer to justice.
