1770. Delphine lives in the shadows of London: a secret, vibrant world of smugglers, courtesans and small rebellions. Four years ago, she escaped enslavement at great personal cost. Now, she must help her brother Vincent do the same.
While Britain’s highest court fails to administer justice for Vincent, little rebellions are no longer enough. What’s needed is a big, explosive plot – one that will strike at the heart of the transatlantic slave trade. But can one woman, one fuse and one match bring down an Empire?
An incendiary alternative history, Remember, Remember is a gripping story of conscience, conspiracy, queer identity and courage in the face of injustice.

‘Vividly written’ IAN McMILLAN
‘Remember, Remember is an exquisite read. Meticulously rendered, deeply felt and full of fury. A novel steeped in history … Machray is going to be a force to be reckoned with' HANNAH KANER
'A timely and explosive re-imagining of the gunpowder plot that boldly questions the lengths we’re willing to go for freedom … will stay with you long after you've finished reading' STACEY THOMAS
‘A powerful, ultimately hopeful story about one woman's fight for change' JESSICA BULL
‘Remember, Remember weaves together a masterful tapestry of resilience, love, and the pursuit of freedom. It's a novel steeped in so much heartbreak yet so much beauty; a novel so compulsive in its plot … Elle Machray is a truly exceptional storyteller’ ELVIN MENSAH
‘Reminiscent of The Confessions of Frannie Langton and Pandora, Remember, Remember is immaculately researched; a rousing war cry for justice from the past that feels every bit as urgent today … I was utterly gripped until the final explosive page!’ HAYLEY NOLAN
