Omtale fra Den Norske Bokdatabasen

November 1978. Ei svart kvinne, kjent som Gale Annie, blir funnet død i rennesteinen av naboen fru Ranelagh. Hun er sikker på at Annie blei drept, selv om egentlig ingenting tyder på dette. Tjue år seinere forsøker hun fortsatt å finne sannheten, selv om det gjør mannen hennes så sint at han nekter å snakke om det som skjedde den natta.

Omtale fra forlaget

November 1978. The winter of discontent. Britain is on strike. The dead lie unburied, rubbish piles in the streets - and somewhere in West London a black woman dies in a rain-soaked gutter. She was known as 'Mad Annie' and was despised by her neighbours.
Her passing would have gone unmourned and unnoticed but for the young woman who finds her and believes - apparently against reason - that Annie was murdered.
But whatever the truth about Annie - whether she was a mad as her neighbours claimed, whether she lived in squalor as the police said, whether she cruelly mistreated the cats found starving in her house - something passed between her and Mrs Ranelagh in the moment of death which binds this one woman to her cause for the next twenty years.
But why is Mrs Ranelagh so convinced it was murder, when by her own account Annie died without speaking? Why does the subject make her husband so angry that he refuses to talk about what happened that night? And why would any woman spend twenty painstaking years uncovering the truth - unless her reasons are personal .?
