India Selwyn Jones enters medicine determined to improve the lives of people whose poverty places decent treatment beyond easy reach. Working in London’s East End at the beginning of the twentieth century, she encounters a world far removed from the expectations of her privileged background. Her connection with Sid Malone, a powerful figure in the criminal underworld, challenges her judgement and draws her into conflicts that cannot be resolved through professional conviction alone. Around them, class, politics and family loyalties make private choices matters of considerable danger. Jennifer Donnelly’s second Rose novel combines a sweeping love story with the struggle to build a meaningful life amid inequality and violence. Its intertwined fortunes reveal how idealism and ambition can both sustain people and place everything they value at risk.
