Synopsis

Scarlett Holmes is presented as two years older than Sherlock, with a relationship marked by early disagreement and later friction. John Watson encounters her and finds her both compelling and difficult, drawn in despite her sharp manner.

Her academic path centres on archaeology, leading to a post at Cambridge at the newly founded women’s college, Newnham. Although archaeology is described as a field more open to young women than medicine or mathematics, Scarlett is portrayed as a polymath who resents the lack of recognition for her wider abilities. Watson accompanies her in her work, helping her gain access to places she could not otherwise enter; this collection will suit readers looking for short-form fiction that reimagines familiar figures through a different perspective.
