‘Vividly written’ IAN McMILLAN‘Remember, Remember is an exquisite read. Meticulously rendered, deeply felt and full of fury. A novel steeped in history … Machray is going to be a force to be reckoned with' HANNAH KANER'A timely and explosive re-imagining of the gunpowder plot that boldly questions the lengths we’re willing to go for freedom … will stay with you long after you've finished reading' STACEY THOMAS‘A powerful, ultimately hopeful story about one woman's fight for change' JESSICA BULL‘Remember, Remember weaves together a masterful tapestry of resilience, love, and the pursuit of freedom. It's a novel steeped in so much heartbreak yet so much beauty; a novel so compulsive in its plot … Elle Machray is a truly exceptional storyteller’ ELVIN MENSAH‘Reminiscent of The Confessions of Frannie Langton and Pandora, Remember, Remember is immaculately researched; a rousing war cry for justice from the past that feels every bit as urgent today … I was utterly gripped until the final explosive page!’ HAYLEY NOLAN'Remember, Remember is a book we undoubtedly need right now – a rallying call to join the movement of contemplation, compassion, and action … Machray reminds us all of the power we have within.' BRONWYN ELEY‘Such a powerful and moving book that really delivers on rich historical detail. I really, really enjoyed it … vivid, raw, and passionate … it opened my eyes to a part of British history I didn’t know enough about.’ LUCY BARKER‘I can’t put it down! It’s a powerful, heartrending feminist retelling of real history’ ANYA BERGMAN‘An exciting debut novel, which weaves historical facts with compelling themes … the importance of justice, identity and resistance, even when it seems that all is lost’ HISTORICAL NOVELS REVIEW 'The passion behind this book really resonated. An atmospheric debut with heart and ambition' SCOTTISH NATIONAL BOOK AWARDS
