Named after the funeral flower, Lily has walked hand-in-hand with death for as long as she can remember.
But the fact that death has chosen to follow her through life can hardly be conceived as her fault.
Certainly she cannot be expected to take the blame for the slew of missing men in her wake.
In fact, Lily is in no doubt that there has been some terrible mistake, and she will be released from this asylum any day now.
Now she just needs to convince you too...
Set against the harsh realities of a Victorian asylum, this compelling historical debut sees one unruly woman take her revenge on the men who would keep her caged, and ultimately asks where we draw the line between villain and victim in a society where the odds are stacked against women from the start. Perfect for fans of MRS ENGLAND by Stacey Halls, THE MAD WOMEN'S BALL by Victoria Mas and LILY by Rose Tremain.

Recensioni della critica
A fabulous Sarah Waters meets Promising Young Woman slice of Victoriana about madness and murderousness with the most glorious of unreliable narrators. Absolutely loved it - so gripping, so unpredictable, and Lily is a character for the ages, unapologetically devious and sly, but still a(n anti) heroine readers will be rooting for. I'll be recommending this one to many people!
An intriguing setting, complex characters and evocative writing; [No Women Were Harmed] has all the ingredients of a bestseller
An unreliable narrator makes for an intriguing lead character and compulsive reading in this historical novel set in the late 19th century...mesmerising
Lily has found herself shackled in a Victorian asylum, accused of leaving a slew of missing men in her wake...Haunting
A delightfully dark Victorian romp, No Women Were Harmed is an absolute treat for anyone who loves an unreliable narrator with a biting voice.
A smart, immersive historical debut that will have you rooting for and questioning Lily in equal measure
A well-crafted tale, as devious Lily justifies her actions...Mottershead's meticulous research reveals the realities of the asylum and the sad fates of the women housed there - one which Lily is determined to avoid at all costs.
When the odds are stacked against a woman, what is she capable of?...Blurring the lines between victim and villain, this darkly riveting tale is impossible to put down.
Exuberant, gutsy, immaculately detailed: this is Heather Mottershead's first novel and in the parlance of her lead character Lily, she's played a blinder.
This is a story that will certainly appeal to fans of Sarah Waters, Elizabeth Macneal and Bridget Collins. The book delves into the sights and sounds of boarding houses, music halls and factories and the dilemmas that women face when men take advantage of them. Lily, however, is no innocent in her adventures and is willing to find the advantage in every situation. A deep, dark dive into the Victorian psyche and the measures used to understand the minds of women
