Rosemary Elizabeth Simmonds, connue sous le nom de Posy Simmonds, est une dessinatrice et autrice britannique renommée pour ses romans graphiques et ses livres pour enfants. Son œuvre se caractérise par une satire douce de la classe moyenne anglaise, en particulier de ceux qui ont des penchants littéraires. Simmonds puise fréquemment son inspiration dans les romans gothiques des XVIIIe et XIXe siècles, leur insufflant une sensibilité ironique et moderniste. Ses récits présentent souvent des héroïnes malheureuses, explorant les complexités de la vie moderne avec esprit et perspicacité.

Cassandra Darke is an art dealer, mean, selfish, solitary by nature, living in Chelsea in a house worth £7 million. She has become a social pariah, but doesn’t much care. Between one Christmas and the next, she has sullied the reputation of a West End gallery and has acquired a conviction for fraud, a suspended sentence and a bank balance drained by lawsuits. On the scale of villainy, fraud seems to Cassandra a rather paltry offence – her own crime involving ‘no violence, no weapon, no dead body’. But in Cassandra’s basement, her young ex-lodger, Nicki, has left a surprise, something which implies at least violence and probably a body... Something which forces Cassandra out of her rich enclave and onto the streets. Not those local streets paved with gold and lit with festive glitter, but grimmer, darker places, where she must make the choice between self-sacrifice and running for her life.
