Pamela

Fifteen-year-old Pamela Andrews, alone in the world, is pursued by her dead mistress's son. Although she is attracted to Mr B, she holds out against his demands, determined to protect her virginity and abide by her moral standards

Psychlologically acute in its explorations of sex, freedom and power, Richardson's first novel caused a senastion when it was published. Richly comic and lively, PAMELA contains a diverse cast of characters ranging from the vulgar and malevolent Mrs Jewkes to the agressive but awkward country squire.

Reviews

'Brutal, bloody and thoroughly gripping - Pressfield has an amazing grasp of the savage mind, and the precarious nature of civilization'

—— Diana Gabaldon

'Pressfield writes with a quality and style akin to classical legend...a powerful elegy to a world that wasn't to be...a profound dialogue between civilization and "savagery"...A joy to read'

—— John Whitbourn

An emotional and moving epic you won't forget in a hurry

—— Woman's Weekly

One of the most brilliantly sustained and focused pieces of satire I've ever read

—— Douglas Adams

Killer prose...a viciously funny satire that also works as a tongue-in-cheek thriller

—— The Sunday Times

Here is a fine Iliad for our times, to be read with great pleasure

—— Philip Howard , The Times
