Disobedient: The gripping feminist retelling of a seventeenth century heroine forging her own destiny

English

By (author): Elizabeth Fremantle

I'll show you what a woman can do . . .

I was swept away by lush, evocative prose. An unforgettable, moving and important story told with great skill and care' JENNIFER SAINT

'An exhilarating read. Gripping, captivating, and consistently enlightening' KATY HESSEL

'Outstanding. A powerful novel about women who are shamed and silenced, and how they learn to survive. A literary knockout' ANNA MAZZOLA, author of The Clockwork Girl

__________

Rome 1611.

A jewel-bright place of change, with sumptuous new palaces and lavish wealth on display. A city where women are seen but not heard.

Artemisia Gentileschi dreams of becoming a great artist. But her future is not her own - she belongs to her father and will belong to her husband.

Until a mysterious tutor enters her life. Tassi is a dashing figure, handsome and worldly, and for a moment he represents everything that a life of freedom might offer. But then the unthinkable happens.

In the eyes of her family, Artemisia should accept her fate. In the eyes of the law, she is the villain.

But Artemisia is a survivor. And this is her story to tell.

Historical fiction at its absolute best' GILL PAUL, author of The Secret Wife
