    "description": "<p><strong>'What a ride!' India Knight, <em>Sunday Times </em>Summer reads</strong> <strong> 'Thrilling. a sumptuous feast of plotting and intrigue' <em>Mail on Sunday</em></strong> <strong>'A complete joy' Bettany Hughes</strong> <strong>'Gloriously immersive' <em>Guardian</em></strong> <strong>-------------------------------------------------</strong> Frances Howard has beauty and a powerful family - and is the most unhappy creature in the world. Anne Turner has wit and talent - but no stage on which to display them. Little stands between her and the abyss of destitution. When these two very different women meet in strange circumstances, a powerful friendship is sparked. Frankie sweeps Anne into a world of splendour that exceeds all she imagined: a Court whose foreign king is a stranger to his own subjects; where ancient families fight for power, and where the sovereign's favourite may rise and rise - so long as he remains in favour. Anne and Frankie dare to seek a little happiness for themselves in this extravagant, savage hunting ground. But as they gain notice, they also gain enemies; what began as a search for love and safety leads to desperate acts that could cost them everything. <strong>Based on the true scandal that rocked the court of James I, <em>A Net for Small Fishes </em></strong><strong>is the most gripping novel you'll read this year: an exhilarating dive into the pitch-dark waters of the Jacobean court.</strong></p>",
