1942. London is burning.
When jaded war-time journalist Iris Remington investigates a medium who predicted a sunken battleship, she smells a story – something far stranger than she could have imagined.
The dead are speaking.
Helen Duncan is a psychic who claims to channel the voices of fallen soldiers – and somehow her visions are coming true.
Someone desperately wants them silenced.
In a city learning to count its dead, a woman who knows more than she should attracts attention. And when Helen is arrested under a shocking charge, the two women find themselves at the centre of a trial that could change history.
Because in the darkest days of war, the most dangerous thing of all might be a miracle.
Based on the extraordinary true story of a WWII witchcraft trial, The Miracles is about what we dare to believe when the world is falling apart.
