Nightingale’s Castle
A Novel of Erzsébet Báthory, the Blood Countess
Erstverkaufstag: 30.07.2024
Langbeschreibung
In the vein of riveting historical novels such as Hamnet and Circe--with a touch of Dracula--a propulsive, feminist reimagining of the story of Erzsébet Báthory, the infamous sixteenth-century Hungarian aristocrat known as the "Blood Countess", who was rumored to have murdered hundreds of peasant girls and bathed in their blood.
Sonia Velton has been a solicitor in Hong Kong, a Robert Schuman Scholar in Luxembourg, and spent eight years being a full-time mom of three in Dubai. She now lives in Kent. Her first novel, Blackberry and Wild Rose, tells the story of a fictional household of master silk weavers living in eighteenth-century Spitalfields. The protagonist is loosely inspired by Anna Maria Garthwaite who was the foremost silk designer of the mid-eighteenth century and the title takes its name from an actual silk design. The novel was short-listed as a work in progress for the Lucy Cavendish Fiction Prize 2015 and long-listed for the Myslexia Novel Competition.
