A Book of Secrets Blog Tour

To celebrate the publication of the paperback edition of A Book of Secrets, author Kate Morrison will be on a blog tour form 25^th March to 4^th April.

This historical fiction chronicles the life of Susan Charlewood. Born in what is now Ghana, Susan is enslaved by the Portuguese but later rescued by British sailors, who bring her to Elizabethan England. Once in England, she is raised and educated in an English Catholic household. 

When Susan comes of age, the family marry her off to an older Catholic man, John Charlewood. Charlewood runs a printing press and uses it to supply the Papist nobility with illegal Catholic texts and foment rebellion amongst the Catholic underclass. When Charlewood dies, Susan takes over the business and uses her new position to find out more about her origins.

A Book of Secrets is a revealing and compelling glimpse into a fraught time which looks at racial relationships on the eve of the beginning of the transatlantic slave trade. 

Author of Black Tudors, Miranda Kaufmann called it “A tale of religious fervour, loyalty, piracy, desire and identity… a masterful piece of storytelling”
