Forlagsbeskrivelse af A Wild & True Relation A Gripping Feminist Historical Fictio af Kim Sherwood
A ground-breaking literary historical novel by the award-winning author of Testament and Double or Nothing, the new Bond series Shortlisted for the Winston Graham Prize for Historical Fiction''This book is a rarity - a novel as remarkable for the vigour of the storytelling as for its literary ambition. Kim Sherwood is a writer of capacity, potency and sophistication'' HILARY MANTELA Wild & True Relation opens during the Great Storm of 1703, as smuggler Tom West confronts his lover Grace for betraying him to the Revenue. Leaving Grace''s cottage in flames, he takes her orphaned daughter Molly on board ship disguised as a boy to join his crew. But Molly, or Orlando as she must call herself, will grow up to outshine all the men of Tom''s company and seek revenge - and a legacy - all of her own. Woven into Molly''s story are the writers - from Celia Fiennes to Hester Thrale to George Eliot - who are transfixed by her myth and who, over three centuries, come together to solve the mystery of her life. With extraordinary verve and chutzpah, Sherwood remakes the eighteenth-century Heroical novel and challenges women''s writing and women''s roles throughout history.
