London, 1953. Coronation year - but not the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth.

 

Thirteen years have passed since a Grand Alliance between Great Britain and Germany was formalized. George VI and his family have disappeared and Edward VIII rules as King with his Queen Wallis. Yet, in practice, all power is vested in Alfred Rosenberg, Britain's Protector. The role and status of women is Rosenberg's particular interest.

 

Rose Ransom belongs to the elite caste of women and works at the Ministry of Culture, rewriting the classics of English literature to correct the views of the past. But now Rose has been given a special, perhaps perilous, task.

 

Outbreaks of insurgency have been seen across the country; graffiti daubed on public buildings. Disturbingly, the graffiti is made up of lines from forbidden works, subversive words from the voices of women. Suspicion has fallen on Widowland, the run-down slums where childless women over fifty have been banished.

 

Before the Leader arrives in England for the Coronation ceremony, Rose must infiltrate Widowland to find the source of this rebellion and ensure that it is quashed.
