Olivia Hayfield

    Olivia Hayfieldová přetváří historické příběhy do moderního hávu. Její díla zkoumají, jak by se životní osudy historických postav, jako je Jindřich VIII., odvíjely v 21. století, a staví je proti současným protějškům jejich manželek. Autorka se soustředí na ženské postavy a jejich vzájemné vztahy, často s ironickým nadhledem a moderním citem pro drama. Její styl je svěží a poutavý, přičemž dává vyniknout nadčasovým tématům lásky, moci a zrady v novém kontextu.

      Loosely based on the turbulent reigns of Tudor queens Mary and Elizabeth, this is a scandalous tale of love, power and betrayal . . .

      A rollicking retelling of the story of England's favourite ginger tyrant - King Henry VIII - but with a 21st century twist! Divorced, murdered, died, divorced, suicide, survived... Wealthy, devilishly handsome businessman Harry Rose is head of Rose Corporation, No.18 on the Forbes rich list and recently married to wife number six. But in 2018, with the #MeToo movement changing the way he does business, Harry's perfect, glamorous life has the potential to come crashing to the ground - and Harry is worried man. As Harry's conscience battles to justify his past actions - from popular 1980s young gun to present-day ginger tyrant - he begins to realise how the strong, savvy women he's loved and lost have played hosts to a life story worthy of any tabloid. And that behind the money, sex and power lies the true tale of intrigue, infidelity and danger. Some men, it seems, never learn from their mistakes...
