Summary
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 12th-century hell raiser. On one of his night 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 aristocrats and brawling villagers, daring escapes across the moors, and thundering descents down steep cliffs to the ocean. Its vivid details give the listener a fascinating and realistic view of life in a medieval castle and village. And the love story 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.

Entertaining if you can get past the narration
Absolutely terrible narrator . Caroline Slaughter by mane and slaughter by nature. her tendency to read all but the most noble characters as if they were total cretins made me abandon listening to this book a number of times until eventually curiosity won out and I battled through... and it truly was a battle. The narrators voice was awful!!! and if it wasn't for the recommendation by Elizabeth Chadwick I would not have bothered to persevere. Simple yet entertaining story, spoiled by the performance.

Very disappointed
I read this when I was much younger and loved it. Unfortunately the performance was very poor and I gave up after a few chapters. Very disappointed.

Horrifically bad reading. Do Not Buy.
This reading is beyond awful. An American who has no idea how to pronounce much, let alone anything in English. Especially colloquial / regional English. And she’s made zero effort to learn the historical terms - for a historical novel. She mostly seems to use some horrible fake American-cockney (which is inappropriate given it’s not set in London!). I have loved this story since I was a kid, and I’m not going to be able to finish listening to this. What a waste of money. Do Not Buy !! Get the kindle or paperback instead.
