About The Confessions of Frannie Langton
Frannie Langton, a servant and former slave, is accused of murdering her employers in Georgian London. As the courtroom condemns her, her testimony reaches back to a Jamaican plantation, a corrupt scientific household, and a forbidden relationship that exposes crimes far beyond murder.
