Hannie Richards

3.6/5 ( ratings)

Hannie Richards leads a double life - one as a wife and mother in a Devon manor house, the other as an international smuggler. In this sharp and witty pastiche of the worlds of John Buchan and Rider Haggard, our heroine brings back cures for cancer from the Brazilian jungle, takes a small child across war-torn Chad, and steals the vital paper which restores a Black family's rights to their Caribbean island. Between trips she recounts her adventures at the Hope Club, a notorious women-only version of the Garrick or the Reform.

Virtuous Hannie is not: she wants it all - luxury, excitement, love, security. Perhaps she pays a price for it, for something goes terribly wrong and Hannie loses her cool - with disastrous consequences. Certainly she discovers that juggling the demands of home and work is no easier for an international smuggler than for any other woman of our time.
