An almond for a parrot
Description
In eighteeth–century London, a young courtesan discovers her powers—of both magic and seduction—in this “irresistible erotic fairytale for adults" (Guardian, UK).
In prison, accused of murder, Tully Truegood begins to write her life story. A story that takes her from a young girl in the backstreets of 18th century London to her stepmother Queenie's Fairy House—a place where decadent excess is a must . . .
Trained by Queenie to become a courtesan, and by Mr. Crease—a magician who recognizes Tully unique powers—Tully soon becomes the talk of the town. But as Tully goes on a journey of sexual awakening, she falls in love with one of her clients and the pleasure soon turns to pain. Especially when the estranged husband she was forced to marry suddenly seeks her out.
Now Tully is awaiting her trial for murder, for which she expects to hang—and her only chance of survival is to get her story to the one person who might be able to help her.
Wray Delaney's tale of a young woman's journey out of the depths of despair is “a bawdy, romping affair [that] mixes up genres—historical fiction, erotica, magic realism-to create something original” (The London Times, UK).More Copies In LINK+
