Full Description

Inspired by real bloodstains and from detailed research comes a
refreshingly different historical romance between a god-fearing woman and a
known murderer

 

My
Husband: The Extraordinary History of Nicholas Brome combines fifteenth century imagery with themes of morality and
forgiveness in a historical novel that takes inspiration from a true story of
love and murder. It explores the life of Nicholas Brome, a Warwickshire lord
with a violent, blood-soaked past, through the soul-searching of his third wife
and widow, Lettice Catesby. Their residence, Baddesley Clinton, features
prominently in the novel, and still stands as a historical property people can
tour today - including Nicholas' grave where he demands to be buried standing
up. An enduring punishment - but is it a just one?

 

When Lettice married Nicholas, 25 years
her senior, she believed she knew all there was about his violent past and the
murders he committed. He had pleaded to the King and the Pope for pardon and
both Lettice and God had long ago forgiven him. But on his deathbed, Nicholas
confesses once more and this time there can be no forgiveness. Shocked,
desperate, Lettice examines all she knows of his life for an explanation: his
childhood torn apart by the power struggles between Yorkists and Lancastrians,
the promise and pain of his marriages, his love of family and his amends for
his violent behaviour. An inspiring story of love and loyalty in the face of a
very real fear of Hell.
