It's 1945 and Winifred 'Freddy' Vaux fears she's the only person who isn't thrilled the war is over.

With peace comes the end of her career as a military driver, commanding ambulances and recovery vehicles across London. All she wants is to drive and she still can - but not for her occupation and certainly not fast.

Yet speeding through the city's war-torn streets one last time, she makes a resolution: she must pursue race car driving. No matter the cost.

From the country lanes of her youth to Europe's most exhilarating tracks, Freddy's thunderous ambition takes her where no woman has gone before. However, travelling at such speeds means that friends and lovers can be lost in an instant.

Freddy has a lot to learn. Driving was the easy part.

Unputdownable and exhilarating, this story resilience and ambition is perfect for readers of Maggie Shipstead, Maggie O'Farrell and Joanna Miller.
