Guest review by Anne Sebba: Epic Annette - A Heroine’s Tale by Anne Weber, translated by Tess Lewis
‘Annette Beaumanoir is a rare heroine whose fierce courage almost demands an unusual, and beautiful, account of her life. She stood out in life and this epic will ensure that she is honoured in death. She deserves nothing less.’

Epic Annette: a nuanced, immensely moving testimony to an improbable life
‘While emulating an ancient form, Weber’s poem is charged with a political mission to bring to life stories historically left untold. It’s a bravura move that pays off; Epic Annette is a history lesson unlike any other’
