When a young scholar makes the discovery of the century – letters between James Joyce and comedy legend Groucho Marx – she believes she has secured her legacy.

​

But in the cut-throat Joyce industry, credit rarely goes to a woman. Between The Lines is a razor sharp, wryly witty literary mystery that follows her descent into a patriarchal web of ego and academic theft.

As her groundbreaking discovery is hijacked by the very mentor she trusts to protect it, truth begins to blur.

 

Packed with intellectual gymnastics and dramatic reversals, the story asks: who gets to own history?

In a world of literary giants, you can’t trust even the evidence of your own eyes…​
