Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

When Eleonore (Leo) Reeves moves back home with her parents after graduation, she's frustrated by the narrow horizons of English country life. But when Richard, an old family friend, comes to stay for the weekend, she's refreshed by his political outlook, and intrigued by the spark of attraction she detects between him and her mother. Richard tells Leo that he's been researching a book so explosive that it might put his life in danger: the true story of a group of students and academics, all present at Cambridge University in the early 1980s, who went on to form an influential think-tank which has been quietly lobbying the government to sell off the NHS.

After years in the political wilderness they're finally in a position to put their plans into action. Richard is on the cusp of a major breakthrough when tragedy strikes, throwing the Reeves's family life into turmoil, and prompting Leo to turn detective. But does the solution to Richard's murder lie in contemporary politics, or somewhere else entirely - in a literary enigma that is almost forty years old?

Darting between decades, perspectives and countries, THE PROOF OF MY INNOCENCE is a state-of-the-nation novel with a big heart, exploring how the key to understanding the present can only be found in the murky past. Most of all it is an exploration of a young graduate finding her way in the uncertain and constantly shifting Britain into which she was born.
