Both brother and sister grew up to become writers, although one lived in the shadow of the other's genius.
As small children, Rudyard Kipling and his sister Trix lived an enchanted life in India playing with their beloved servants and running around freely. Their innocent happiness came to an abrupt end when they were sent back to England to live with strangers and forced to conform to the strict rules of Edwardian society in an alien country.
Both brother and sister grew up to become writers, although one lived in the shadow of the other's genius. Rudyard Kipling's incredible life is known to many while his poetry and books have been read by millions but what became of his talented younger sister? Her story, full of love and lies, became a distressing family secret that was hidden from the world...
Mary Hamer has unearthed the truth about Alice Kipling, known to her family affectionately as Trix. In this fictionalised account of their lives, the author goes to the heart of the relationship between a difficult brother and his troubled sister and explores how their early lives shaped the very different people they were later to become.
Set against a lavish backdrop of colonial India, austere Edwardian England and Vermont, USA, New England, Kipling & Trix provides a unique insight into the life of one of the most influential literary figures of the 20th century; one whose private life was obsessively well-guarded. An incredible and theatrical tale, Hamer's debut novel explores the truth about Alice Kipling, delving into the heart of the relationship between a difficult brother and his troubled sister.
