Kenilworth Books is "thrilled to announce" an exclusive literary event, "Dangerous Women," featuring bestselling authors Elizabeth Fremantle and Caroline Lea.

This engaging discussion will delve into the portrayal of women in historical fiction who defy societal norms and are often labelled as 'dangerous.'

The event will take place on Thursday, July 17, from 7pm to 8pm at Kenilworth School & Sixth Form, located on Glasshouse Lane.

"Following the success of the previous sold-out event at this venue, we encourage attendees to book promptly to secure their spots," organisers said.

Elizabeth Fremantle is renowned for her feminist retellings of historical narratives.

Her latest novel, Sinners, explores the tragic life of Beatrice Cenci, a young Roman noblewoman who stood against the violence of men in sixteenth-century Rome.

Fremantle's debut, Queen's Gambit, has been adapted into the feature film Firebrand, starring Alicia Vikander and Jude Law, and was nominated for the Palme d'Or at Cannes.

Caroline Lea offers a reimagined account of Mary Shelley's summer of 1816 in her novel Love, Sex and Frankenstein.

The book delves into themes of female rage, creative madness, and the scandalous origins of the iconic gothic novel Frankenstein. Lea's previous work, Prize Women, was Kenilworth Books' top-selling fiction title of 2024.

Tickets can be purchased through Kenilworth Books' website: kenilworthbooks.co.uk
