The Harp Lesson by Emma Tennant

The Harp Lesson by Emma Tennant

Set in Revolutionary France, this atmospheric novel explores the life of La Belle Pamela'. As a child Pamela Sims is taken from England to the French court, where she is brought up in luxury as the illegitimate daughter of Madame de Genlis. Exploring how her past shaped the extraordinary lives of Pamela and her daughter, this novel captures the atmosphere of 18th-century France and the complexity of a world where your origins are everything.

EMMA TENNANT became a full-time novelist with the apocalyptic 'The Time of the Crack' (1973), later reprinted as 'The Crack'. More than twenty books followed, including thrillers, comic fantasies, books for children and a series of unconventional and revisionary 'sequels' to classic texts, such as 'Tess' (1993); 'Pemberley' and 'An Unequal Marriage' (1993-4), and 'Emma in Love' (1996). Tennant was the founding editor of the innovative periodical 'Bananas' (1975); she has worked as general editor of 'In Verse' (1982) and as general editor of the Viking series 'Lives of Modern Women' (1985). She was awarded an Honorary D.Litt. from the University of Aberdeen in 1996 and lives in London.
