Set in and around the women\u2019s prison at Milbank in the 1870s, Affinity<\/em> is an eerie and utterly compelling ghost story, a complex and intriguing literary mystery and a poignant love story with an unexpected twist in the tale. Following the death of her father, Margaret Prior has decided to pursue some \u2018good work\u2019 with the lady criminals of one of London\u2019s most notorious gaols. Surrounded by prisoners, murderers and common thieves, Margaret feels herself drawn to one of the prisons more unlikely inmates \u2013 the imprisoned spiritualist \u2013 Selina Dawes. Sympathetic to the plight of this innocent-seeming girl, Margaret sees herself dispensing guidance and perhaps friendship on her visits, little expecting to find herself dabbling in a twilight world of seances, shadows, unruly spirits and unseemly passions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
