Reviews
"Kirby's superb psychological thriller just about garrotes you in suspense. Is violence a product of nature or nurture? Can we shape who we are, and once shaped, can we ever change? I kept all the lights on through this provocative, smart debut." -Caroline Leavitt, New York Times bestselling author of Pictures of You and Is This Tomorrow "The novel probes some of Victoriana's darkest corners. Kirby uses the ties between early scientific and medical research, prisons, lunatic asylums, and workhouses to humanize the vulnerability of the poor, especially women and children. ... The Conviction of Cora Burns makes plain the frightening ease by which Victorian practices lay bare our own." - Foreword Reviews "Kirby's unforgettable debut is a painstaking, kaleidoscopic, deeply unsettling, deeply thrilling, expansive, provocatively masterful novel that will transport you to Birmingham of the roaring Victorian 1880s and poke and prod your mind and heart with the branding iron that sears every sentence from beginning to unspeakable end." --Charles Blackstone, author of Vintage Attraction "With a sharp historical eye to the class conflicts, workhouse horrors, and sexual mores of Victorian England, Carolyn Kirby deftly renders the precarious lives of unmarried working-class mothers and the far-reaching consequences of moral choices driven by desperation. A poignant reflection on the possibility of personal redemption and the potential, within each person and society, to recognize and cherish human dignity and shed the injustices of the past." -Alice Hatcher, author of The Wonder That Was Ours "An astonishing debut novel--sumptuous in detail, original in structure, and, page by page, utterly compelling. Kirby is a born storyteller--a Charles Dickens for the 21st century--and her evocation of of the sources of evil, whether in us or in society, as shrewd and telling as her understanding of the mystery and depths of the human heart." - Jay Neugeboren, author of Imagining Robert and The Stolen Jew " Downton Abbey meets Elizabeth Gaskell." -GJ Minett, author of Lie In Wait, The Hidden Legacy and Anything For Her "A gripping historical thriller with a compelling protagonist. I loved the period detail and can't wait to read more from Carolyn Kirby." - Sarah Ward, author of the DC Childs novels "Unique and utterly engrossing." -Emily Elgar, author of If You Knew Her "An intriguing story of loss, doubleness, and sinister scientific experiment. Carolyn Kirby conjures up the nineteenth-century in a way that will surely satisfy all devotees of 'Vic-lit'." -Gaynor Arnold, author of The Girl In the Blue Dress "In The Conviction of Cora Burns , Kirby tells a story reminiscent of the amazing Australian film Heavenly Creatures , a story that explores the power of friendship between two young girls who have been marginalized by society. When Cora's friend Alice Salt challenges their friendship by suggesting a moral compromise, Kirby negotiates this emotional challenge masterfully." -Russell Rowland, author of Arbuckle, "Kirby's superb psychological thriller just about garrotes you in suspense.
