Each volume is signed and inscribed by the author to the title page, in presentation to Carmen Callil, an Australian publisher who founded Virago Press in 1973, to "publish books which celebrated women and women's lives, and which would, by so doing, spread the message of women's liberation to the whole population".

This set contains: Curtain Call, or The Distinguished Thing: A Novel, 2015.
In the summer of 1936, a woman accidentally interrupts an attempted murder in a London hotel room.
Nina Land, a West End actress, faces a dilemma: she's not supposed to be at the hotel in the first place, but she may have seen the face of 'the Tie-Pin Killer'.
Freya, 2016.
In London, 1945, Freya Wyley meets Nancy Holdaway amid the wild celebrations of VE Day.
This is the prelude to a devoted and competitive friendship that will endure for the next two decades, even when they both become entangled with Robert Cosway during their time in university.
Eureka, 2017.
In 1967, London is the filming location of Eureka, a mystery film being shot by a German wunderkind Reiner Werther Kloss.
But the people all around Kloss, the screenwriter, a fledgling actress, and journalist, have more than enough on their plates, and are all trying to work out how so much of what Kloss touches turns to ash in his wake.
In the original full cloth binding.
Externally, excellent.
