Barbara Ewing is an actress who you might remember as Agnes Fairchild, the mother in the brilliant eighties sitcom, Brass. She's also a novelist and The Mesmerist is her latest book.
Set in Victorian London, it's the story of a young struggling actress, Cordelia Preston, who has inherited the ability to ease
people's pain and suffering through the power of her hands. People who do this today are called Healers, then they were known as Mesmerists.
