Synopsis

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.

I had not heard of this book before receiving an email asking if I'd be interested in reviewing the reissued edition, but when I saw that Elizabeth Chadwick had written the foreword and that it was being compared to SKP and Anya Seton, I had to give it a shot. While waiting out a storm in a village t......more

First-rate medieval HR - entertaining and well researched. Currently available on Amazon for £1.09 (9th May 2018) I treasure my orginal PB copy of Red Adam's Lady (so I'm delighted to see it out on Kindle) - one of the best HRs I've read. RAL is a great combination of a MoC romance between two strong......more

4.5 I saw this book on Amazon years ago, with great reviews and an interesting summary, and I've been waiting for them to rerelease it ever since. I'm so glad they did! This was worth the wait. It wasn't perfect but I can see why so many people have loved this story over the years. It is has elements......more

Goodreads review by Rebecca on May 30, 2011

One of my favourite medieval HF books, that reminds me a lot of some of Elizabeth Chadwick's books. My copy is so old and battered that it is held together with a rubber band... And it's one that needs to be reprinted! Good mystery, young innocent bride, a red-headed hero (yeah!) and lots of little......more
