Olivia Hayfield

    Olivia Hayfieldová pretvára historické príbehy do moderného šatu. Jej diela skúmajú, ako by sa životné osudy historických postáv, ako je Henrich VIII., odvíjali v 21. storočí, a stavia ich proti súčasným náprotivkom ich manželiek. Autorka sa sústreďuje na ženské postavy a ich vzájomné vzťahy, často s ironickým nadhľadom a moderným citom pre drámu. Jej štýl je svieži a pútavý, pričom dáva vyniknúť nadčasovým témam lásky, moci a zrady v novom kontexte.

      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...
