The Woman Who Went Over Niagara Falls In a Barrel

“An extraordinary story about an extraordinary woman.” New York Times bestseller Hazel Gaynor

School teacher. Widow. Legend.

Meet the courageous Mrs Annie Edson Taylor. The bravest woman you’ve never heard of and the first person to go over Niagara Falls in a barrel – over a decade before any male daredevil had the balls to do the same!

From the author of the bestselling Heather’s Picks title Mrs Van Gogh, comes a gripping new historical novel inspired by a true story.

Praise for The Woman Who Went Over Niagara Falls in a Barrel:

“I laughed, cried, gasped, cried some more. Every single word is perfection!”

“The absolute courage of this woman was amazing. This should be made into a film.”

‘She defied the archaic ideas, modes of restraint and ageism put on women of her era. I cannot rave enough about this novel and what a brilliant ‘fictionalised love letter’ Ms Cauchi has written in honour of Annie Edson Taylor.”
