I remember sitting in the sitting room of my friend Tamsin in Falmouth, several years ago, with some writers. Jeni is a writer - dramas and novels. She told us about her father's aunt, her great-aunt - a quiet, gentle woman with a surprising history. When she was a young woman she had marched and taken part in demonstrations, demanding votes for women. She had thrown stones and smashed shop windows with a hammer - and been imprisoned. Now, thanks to a Christmas present, I can read the whole book (while I eat chocolate).
