Fiction
Summer of 1876: San Francisco is in the fierce grip of a
record-breaking heat wave and a smallpox epidemic. Through
the window of a railroad saloon, a young woman named Jenny
Bonnet is shot dead. The survivor, her friend Blanche Beunon, is a French
burlesque dancer. Over the next three days, she will risk
everything to bring Jenny's murderer to justice--if he
doesn't track her down first. The story Blanche struggles to
piece together is one of free-love bohemians, desperate
paupers, and arrogant millionaires; of jealous men, icy
women, and damaged children. It's the secret life of Jenny
herself, a notorious character who breaks the law every
morning by getting dressed: a charmer as slippery as the
frogs she hunts. In thrilling, cinematic style, FROG MUSIC digs up a
long-forgotten, never-solved crime. Full of songs that
migrated across the world, Emma Donoghue's lyrical tale of
love and bloodshed among lowlifes captures the pulse of a
boomtown like no other.
