They’ve come from unlikely corners of the British Empire: brickworker’s daughter Annie, wealthy flapper Ridley, refined Parsi aristocrat Dorelia and disheartened schoolteacher Norma. They call themselves the Society of Literary Marauders and the price of entry is having stolen a book. Their illicit meetings rapidly become a lifeline in a world where knowledge is power, and women are fed lies and half-truths. They start with small misdemeanours – getting their hands on banned books, stealing back historical records claimed by the men’s colleges. But over time, they become aware of a true literary injustice – and they slowly formulate a plan to put this historical wrong to right …  Full of intrigue, literary drama and the joy of rebellious female friendships, this stunning novel is an unputdownable joy from first page to last.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Beaumaris Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42190272168016,"sku":"9781763550711","price":31.49,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0211\/2428\/files\/9781763550711_1.jpg?v=1774841970","url":"https:\/\/beaumarisbooks.com.au\/products\/society-of-literary-marauders","provider":"Beaumaris Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
