About the Book

Ellen and Kate were best friends and committed suffragettes. On the eve of the Great War, Kate burned down a church. A man died and she disappeared. Sixteen years later, Ellen and her brother Freddie have rebuilt their lives after the trauma of war and loss. She is overjoyed when Kate reappears. But Kate is consumed by remorse over the death. They enlist the help of Alec, Freddie's ex-lover, to find out what happened that day in the church. There are ties from the past that bind them all: guilt, fear, pride. Can they break free from these and reclaim the lives they deserve?

About the Author :
Fiona Graph was born in Sydney. Once she had obtained a degree in Psychology and Ancient History, she travelled before settling in north London. She worked variously as a psychologist, for an LGBT organisation and as a librarian, before ending up at the Foreign Office. Her youthful interest in writing came back strongly about five years ago. 'Things That Bounded' is her first novel to be published. A second novel will come out in 2021. You can find Fiona on Twitter at: @fiona_graph

Review :
"This is a novel with female and male queer characters, and their love for each other is at its heart. The two central characters were young suffragettes who find each other again in the 1930s. It is an uplifting story which manages to address important and universal themes around vulnerability and courage." - Helen Pankhurst, international women's rights activist and writer; "This beautifully written book of two women who meet up again is full of memories and more, set in a vibrant London of streets, gardens and parks ... This is a powerful work of historical fiction which has much to say about love, risk and the values of the truth ... I found this a moving book, with so many fascinating conversations and ideas ... I recommend this as a fascinating novel about the suffragettes and the relationships between the women united in a common cause." - The Northern Reader (https://northernreader.wordpress.com/); "Such an enjoyable historical, LGBTQ+ and suspenseful read! Would definitely recommend ... Rating: 5/5." - The Book Reader on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/p/CHvugHNAF8I/); "I absolutely loved this fascinating historical read. Things that Bounded drew me in from the very first paragraph and kept me engrossed in its diverse characters and their stories right until the very final page ... This book wears its research lightly ... such vividly-depicted lives ... she draws the reader in and keeps them connected ... I recommend this book for people who enjoy a compelling narrative with memorable characters." - On the Shelf Book Blog (https://ontheshelfbookblog.wordpress.com/2020/11/19/things-that-bounded/); "An interesting and well- researched piece of historical fiction [that] confirms ... how far certain lifestyles have been erased from history ... It shows me how much we need books that write these histories, it gives us context, broadens our understanding and represents the true diversity of a society and time ... That was why I found both love stories very moving ... what I have taken away from the book [is that] the world can be as wide as our heart is willing to accept." - Lotus Writing Therapy (https://lotuswritingtherapy.com/2020/11/20/things-that-bounded-by-fiona-graph/); "Fiona has taken a great deal of care and historical research to create a wonderful story with the perfect blend of fact and fiction, which makes it a fascinating, poignant and engaging book. ... There is a beautiful fluidity to the writing of this story ... evocative and vibrant ... the stunning depth of detail of the streets, the parks, the people of London at this time, is utterly enthralling ... I very much enjoyed this empathetic, insightful piece of historical fiction [which] I highly recommend" - The Fallen Librarian (https://thefallenlibrarian.wordpress.com/2020/11/23/things-that-bounded/)
