Disobedient by Elizabeth Fremantle
signed paperback Rome 1611. A jewel-bright place of change, with sumptuous new palaces and lavish wealth on display.
A city where women are seen but not heard. Artemisia Gentileschi dreams of becoming a great artist. But her future is not her own - she belongs to her father and will belong to her husband.
Until a mysterious tutor enters her life. Tassi is a dashing figure, handsome and worldly, and for a moment he represents everything that a life of freedom might offer. But then the unthinkable happens.
In the eyes of her family, Artemisia should accept her fate. In the eyes of the law, she is the villain. But Artemisia is a survivor.
And this is her story to tell.
