Description
Set against the backdrop of the suffragette movement and the First World War, Beryl Kingston’s Octavia is the first book in the thrilling family saga following Octavia’s journey of self-discovery.
‘Women’s suffrage. She called it the greatest cause of our time and I think it is.’
A much-loved only child, great things are expected of Octavia Smith. Surrounded by family friends like George Bernard Shaw and William Morris, young Octavia is determined to meet more than those expectations. While her cousin Emmeline’s ambition is to get married and have children, Octavia’s dream is to change the world.
She finds her cause in the Suffragette movement, but will the arrival of the dashing and charming Tommy Meriton change her course entirely? With the outbreak of war, Octavia is torn by her love for Tommy and her desperate need to make her mark, forcing her to choose where her destiny lies…

I loved this book, it was interesting as it dealt with not only the First World War but also the suffragette movement. I enjoyed this so much that I was sorry to finish it. I’ve read Beryl Kingston’s books before and always enjoyed them. I love her writing. I always look forward to reading her new books when they come out. My thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for giving me the opportunity to read this book in return for an honest review.
