***

1770. Delphine lives in the shadows of London: a secret, vibrant world of smugglers, courtesans and small rebellions. Four years ago, she escaped enslavement at great personal cost. Now, she must help her brother Vincent do the same.

While Britain’s highest court fails to administer justice for Vincent, little rebellions are no longer enough. What’s needed is a big, explosive plot – one that will strike at the heart of the transatlantic slave trade. But can one woman, one fuse and one match bring down an Empire?

An incendiary alternative history, Remember, Remember is a gripping story of conscience, conspiracy, queer identity and courage in the face of injustice.

'One of the most anticipated debuts of the year … Prepare to have a good cry while simultaneously punching the air'

Critic reviews

‘Vividly written’ IAN McMILLAN

Remember, Remember is an exquisite read. Meticulously rendered, deeply felt and full of fury. A novel steeped in history … Machray is going to be a force to be reckoned with' HANNAH KANER

'A timely and explosive re-imagining of the gunpowder plot that boldly questions the lengths we’re willing to go for freedom … will stay with you long after you've finished reading' STACEY THOMAS

‘A powerful, ultimately hopeful story about one woman's fight for change' JESSICA BULL

Remember, Remember weaves together a masterful tapestry of resilience, love, and the pursuit of freedom. It's a novel steeped in so much heartbreak yet so much beauty; a novel so compulsive in its plot … Elle Machray is a truly exceptional storyteller’ ELVIN MENSAH

‘Reminiscent of The Confessions of Frannie Langton and Pandora, Remember, Remember is immaculately researched; a rousing war cry for justice from the past that feels every bit as urgent today … I was utterly gripped until the final explosive page!’ HAYLEY NOLAN

'Remember, Remember is a book we undoubtedly need right now – a rallying call to join the movement of contemplation, compassion, and action … Machray reminds us all of the power we have within.' BRONWYN ELEY

‘Such a powerful and moving book that really delivers on rich historical detail. I really, really enjoyed it … vivid, raw, and passionate … it opened my eyes to a part of British history I didn’t know enough about.’ LUCY BARKER

‘I can’t put it down! It’s a powerful, heartrending feminist retelling of real history’ ANYA BERGMAN

‘An exciting debut novel, which weaves historical facts with compelling themes … the importance of justice, identity and resistance, even when it seems that all is lost’ HISTORICAL NOVELS REVIEW

'The passion behind this book really resonated. An atmospheric debut with heart and ambition' SCOTTISH NATIONAL BOOK AWARDS

All stars
Most relevant
A somber insight into British colonial society through the eyes of those who were marginalised within it. In equal parts a courtroom drama, tale of self-emancipation and daring plotting, Machray manages to inspire the heart and crush it all the same in this riveting piece of alternate history.

A gripping narrative with heartfelt characters
