Captivated by #ShowWoman 💝 Debut novel beautifully written by @emmacowing Page-turning and breathtaking, this story is dark and at times devastating - but above all else it’s about the power of love 💕 Congratulations Emma!

The Show Woman by @emmacowing, OUT NOW! 'Through Emma’s writing, you can feel that she’s put so much heart into all of her characters, to the point where they jump from the page. With themes of identity, empowerment, friendship and freedom, you’ll be transfixed...' #TheShowWoman

'As well as being often enchanting, and presenting a vanished world and way of life, this is also a novel that tells a compelling and well-devised, often surprising story'. Absolutely blown away by this fantastic review in The Scotsman by Allan Massie.
