Rosie Radcliffe

Frankie & Dot

London socialite and political wife, Frankie, is framed by her husband and goes to prison for arson. Now she’s out on parole with few possessions beyond her clothes and is a long way from the comforts she once took for granted.

From her bedsit in a northern seaside boarding house, Frankie tries to build a new and simpler life, filled with genuine friendships. However, her new-found tranquillity is disrupted when anonymous messages start arriving urging her to ‘keep quiet’…

Unsure of how to handle these emerging threats, Frankie enlists the help of her new friend and fellow Sea View resident, Dot, who’s not the batty older lady she enjoys pretending to be. As a tangled web of lies and deceit begins to unravel, Frankie’s sheltered worldview is painfully exposed. She embarks on a journey not only to fight back against her own injustice but also to strive for positive change in the lives of others.

When a rare form of arthritis ended her career and left her in a wheelchair, Rosie Radcliffe embarked on fulfilling her lifelong dream of becoming a writer. Her novels are set on the Lancashire coast, where she lives in a rural village with her long-suffering husband and cat. Rosie writes about challenging life issues, with a lighter touch, where coffee shops, cake, food, and people watching feature heavily, just as they do in her own life.
