Following Ophelia by Sophia Bennett

Following Ophelia by Sophia Bennett

When Mary Adams sees Millais' depiction of the tragic Ophelia, a whole new world opens up for her. Determined to find out more about the beautiful girl in the painting, she hears the story of Lizzie Siddal - a girl from a modest background, not unlike her own, who has found fame and fortune against the odds. Mary sets out to become a Pre-Raphaelite muse, too, and reinvents herself as Persephone Lavelle. But as she fights her way to become the new face of London's glittering art scene, 'Persephone' ends up mingling with some of the city's more nefarious types and is forced to make some impossible choices. Will Persephone be forced to betray those she loves, and even the person she once was, if she is to achieve her dreams?

A vivid portrait of Pre-Raphaelite glamour and the perils of beauty, desire and independence-- Anna McKerrow
This is Bennett's first historical fiction title and she does a wonderful job with the glamour, scandal and dresses of the period -- Fiona Noble * The Bookseller *

Sophia Bennett's debut novel, THREADS, won The Times/Chicken House Children's Fiction Competition in 2009. She has since published six further novels for young teens, including THE LOOK and LOVE SONG. Sophia has been called 'the queen of teen dreams' by journalist Amanda Craig, for her exploration of the worlds of fashion, art and music. Her books have sold internationally to over 16 countries and there are plans to make THREADS into a TV series. Sophia lives with her family in Wandsworth, south-west London.
