Anna Freeman’s debut is showcases an astonishing new literary talent. The Fair Fight is a vibrant, visceral romp through 18th century Bristol, following the tangled lives of Ruth and Charlotte, two very different women with the same dream; to fight for the Championship boxing title, and for empowerment. The Fair Fight was the unanimous winner of the Tibor Jones Pageturner Prize 2013 and will be out in hardback in August this year.

We still have a while to go until The Fair Fight is published, but we can share an exclusive chapter extract with you here. And who better than Anna herself to share with you what makes the novel so special? Watch her brilliantly funny introduction below, filmed at our author party last year.

The Fair Fight is published in hardback on 28th August 2014.
