Description
A captivating and engrossing new novel on the Suffragette movement, county cricket and the First World War by the prize-winning Anthony Quinn. In the sweltering summer of 1911, suffragette Connie Callaway is introduced to Will Maitland, cricketer and rising star of his county. Despite parting on uncertain terms, they are destined to meet again, their lives inextricably entangled. Connie, fired up by the possibilities of independence, wants more than a conventional marriage; and Will, a son of his age and class, is both attracted and appalled by her quest for self-fulfilment. Spun by choice and chance, the two remain tied together, even as the outbreak of war drives them further apart.

Professional reviews
"‘A thoroughly absorbing and moving novel...testament to the author's adaptability and energy that he is equally at home writing about feminist civil rights, cricket, prisons, art and medicine. And love. Especially love.’ MELISSA KATSOULIS for THE TIMES ‘Half of the Human Race is not just an exhilarating love story, but a thoughtful, well-crafted novel that can be recommended to lovers of cricket, smoking or Jane Austen - not necessarily in that order.' Daily Telegraph 'Half of the Human Race is the sort of novel one presses on a friend in a spirit of happy envy, confident of the fictional treat that lies ahead of them.' Evening Standard"
