Items related to Red Adam's Lady
The fair Lady Julitta has a problem. She is not wealthy. She prizes her virginity. And her liege, whom she despises, is intent on rape. Red Adam is the lord of Brentborough castle--young, impetuous, scandalous, a twelfth-century hell raiser. On one of his nights of drunken revelry he abducts Julitta. Though she fends him off, keeping her virginity, he has sullied her honor. Then, to the astonishment of all, he marries her. Red Adam's Lady is a boisterous, bawdy tale of wild adventure, set against the constant dangers of medieval England. It is a story of civil war and border raids, scheming aristorcrats and brawling villagers, daring escapes across the moors and thundering descents down steep cliffs to the ocean. Its vivid details give the reader a fascinating and realistic view of life in a medieval castle and village. And the love story in it is an unusual one, since Julitta won't let Adam get closer than the length of her stiletto. Long out of print though highly acclaimed, Red Adam's Lady is a true classic of historical fiction along the lines of Anya Seton's Katherine and Sharon Kay Penman's Here Be Dragons.

Previous owners name at top of front endpaper and store stamp at bottom. No other defects noted and interior text pages are near flawless. The redhead hooted gleefully and grappled Julitta to him, spinning her round adroitly so that she could only kick back at his legs. He heaved her from her feet and slung her over his shoulder. He tried to kiss her, but she ducked her head into the cloak so that her crown caught his chin and made his teeth clack. Let me go! she gasped. Indeed I am no harlot! My uncle is Lord of Chivingham. He did not heed her. The girl cried out to the waiting crowd. In God's name-help me! Lady Julitta, mistaken for a strumpet by Red Adam, the impetuous, scandalous young Lord of Brentborough, suddenly found herself married to the very man who had tried to ravish her. She promised herself she would always despise him, but Red Adam was determined to win her love. Seller Inventory # 18736
