Young and Damned and Fair: The Life and Tragedy of Catherine Howard at the Court of Henry VIII
SHORTLISTED FOR THE SLIGHTLY FOXED BEST FIRST BIOGRAPHY PRIZE 2017
Catherine's Letters
An erotic novel with mixed themes including contemporary, historical (Victorian), m/f, f/f, spanking, fem dom and menage. Adrienne’s heart is broken. The man she thought was her boyfriend turned out to be someone else’s husband. Trawling despondently through a London antique shop, a Victorian writing desk catches her eye, but only when she gets it home does she discover its hidden treasure – a pile of letters, more than a century old, telling an explicit tale of the sexual awakening of an aristrocratic young woman, at the hands of her new governess. Meanwhile, in a nearby pub, a feisty young lesbian is about to cross Adrienne’s path, sparking a very 21st-century awakening, which might just mend her broken heart …
Young and Damned and Fair
England July 1540: it is one of the hottest summers on record and the court of Henry VIII is embroiled, once again, in political scandal. Anne Cleves is out. Thomas Cromwell is to be executed and, in the countryside, an aristocratic teenager named Catherine Howard prepares to become fifth wife to the increasingly unpredictable monarch... In the five centuries since her death, Catherine Howard has been dismissed as 'a wanton', 'inconsequential' or a naive victim of her ambitious family, but the story of her rise and fall offers not only a terrifying and compelling story of an attractive, vivacious young woman thrown onto the shores of history thanks to a king's infatuation, but an intense portrait of Tudor monarchy in microcosm: how royal favour was won, granted, exercised, displayed, celebrated and, at last, betrayed and lost. The story of Catherine Howard is both a very dark fairy tale and a gripping political scandal.
