Bluebeard gets a feminist Gothic makeover in this subversive take on the famous French fairy tale-from the acclaimed director of The Love Witch, and for fans of Jane Eyre

A SECRETARY LIKE NO OTHER IN AN EPIC SPANNING 40 YEARS All Hanna Fischer ever wanted to do was to study physics under the great Albert Einstein. But when, as a teenager in 1919, her life is suddenly turned upside-down, she is catapulted into a new and extraordinary life - as a secretary, a scientist, a sister and a spy. From racist gangs in Berlin to gangsters in New York City, Nazis in the 1930s and Hitler's inner circle during the Second World War, Hanna will encounter some of history's greatest minds and most terrible moments, all while desperately trying to stay alive. Spanning forty years, this is the thrilling tale of a young woman propelled through history's most dangerous times. But read it carefully, because all may not be as it seems . . . Praise for Mr Einstein's Secretary 'Epic thriller' Australian Women's Weekly 'Outstanding and utterly enthralling' Canberra Daily 'Addictive page-turner that's well-researched, tightly constructed, and action packed' Saturday Age
