Synopsis
Can a house be more than a home?
For more than a century, a colony flat on Edinburgh's Autumn Row has offered women something rare: a place to begin again.
In 1903, seventeen-year-old Wilma Jackson dreams of a life beyond the expectations placed upon her. Inspired by the launch of the Daily Mirror, the first newspaper written by women for women, she dares to imagine a different future.
In 1973, Susan Brown has spent years saving for a home of her own, only to find every door closed. Then an unexpected inheritance brings her to Autumn Row, where a forgotten collection of letters, photographs and papers reveals the remarkable life of the woman who lived there before her.
In 2023, Morag Parker is juggling work, family and the challenges of midlife. Retreating to her mother's house for a much-needed break, she uncovers the stories of Wilma and Susan and discovers that every generation of women faces its own struggles and finds its own way forward.
Rich in atmosphere and heart, Autumn Row is a moving novel about friendship, resilience and the invisible threads that connect women's lives across generations. A celebration of community, second chances and the homes that shape us.
