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.
