Vice and Virtue
What happens when you marry for neither love nor money? 1700, London: a city so crowded and unregulated that anyone, should they so desire, could slip away – disappear down a back street and become someone else. After the death of her father, seventeen-year-old Aurora Eversedge is left without a dowry and agrees to marry a much older man who claims to be wealthy, though in poor health. On their wedding night, Edward Francis confesses that, in fact, he is penniless but that his health is robust – also that his proposal of marriage carried an ulterior motive: he wants Aurora to act as a spy for him. Edward’s father had left his fortune to his sworn enemy, Josiah Deede. Edward suspects that Josiah murdered his father and is determined to regain his inheritance and bring Josiah Deede to justice. Aurora’s first assignment is to make the acquaintance of Josiah’s daughter, Celia, and son, Jos, at a Covent Garden theatre. Vice and Virtue is full of acute observation of social life…
Moderate Violence
She deleted Toby’s ‘Suitable for all’ label… Tentatively, as if the keys were burning her fingertips, she typed ‘Scenes of sex or violence’. Labelling people as if they were movies might seem a horrible thing to do, but the point of a label is they tell you what to expect. Maybe, thought Jo, if you could learn not to expect more of people that their label showed, you wouldn’t be disappointed. Lost and alone, Jo searches for any part of her life she can control. But what happens when you go too far? Will she manage to pull back before it’s too late?
Cassandra’s Sister
Young Jane – or Jenny, as she was known – is a girl with a head full of questions that no one seems able to answer. But the sudden arrival of her worldly-wise cousin, Eliza, to the parsonage in rural Hampshire brings Jenny some of the answers she is seeking and provides the germ of an idea… Building on the close relationship between Jane and her older sister, Cassandra, and drawing on characters and incidents from such masterpieces as Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility, Cassandra’s Sister creates a moving portrait of one of the world’s greatest and best-loved writers.
Angelmonster
The story of Mary Wollstonecraft and Percy Bysshe Shelley is one of the most famous love stories of all time – passionate yet volatile, heart-warming yet heart-breaking – and the backdrop to the writing of the world-famous novel Frankenstein.
101 Pieces of Me
Set in the late 1920s against the backdrop of the early days of British cinema, this story is told in 101 numbered parts. By 1925, the rate of 24 frames per second had been established worldwide for silent films. So 101 frames – the "pieces" of the title – make about four seconds. Four seconds of film is enough for 16-year-old Sarah Freebody to become an object of fascination for a young producer who will not rest until he has secured her for his next project. Sarah becomes Clara Hope, acts in films, meets exciting people, falls in love and, in the end, has to decide whether a life in film is right for her.
