SIX BROTHERS AND SISTERS. ONE INJUSTICE THAT WILL SHATTER THEIR BOND FOREVER.Junius is the patriarch, a celebrated Shakespearean actor who fled bigamy charges in England, both a mesmerising talent and a man of terrifying instability.

Of the six Booth siblings who survive to adulthood, each has their own dreams they must fight to realise - but it is Johnny who makes the terrible decision that will change the course of history - the assassination of Abraham Lincoln.Booth is a riveting novel focused on the very things that bind, and break, a family.''In its stretch and imaginative depth, Booth has an utterly seductive authority'' Guardian''Karen Joy Fowler''s novels are wildly inventive and deservedly popular'' Daily Mail''Booth is a triumph!''
