The Trial of Lizzie Borden

Cara Robertson’s The Trial of Lizzie Borden (Simon & Schuster) tells the true story of one of the most sensational murder trials in American history. When Andrew and Abby Borden were brutally hacked to death in Fall River, Massachusetts, in August 1892, the arrest of the couple’s younger daughter, Lizzie, turned the case into international news and her trial into a spectacle unparalleled in American history. The Trial of Lizzie Borden offers a window into America in the Gilded Age, showcasing its most deeply held convictions and its most troubling social anxieties.
