We are delighted to be bringing Newcastle-based, award-winning novelist Naomi Kelsey back to Collected for the third time, with her third novel Pale Mistress - a bold reimagining of Shakespeare’s tragic story of ambition, lust, betrayal and power – told through the eyes of Othello’s only female survivor.
---
Cyprus, 16th century.
Murder, lies and vengeance has left lovers dead, promises broken and no one to trust. Only one woman survives, Bianca. The slain? History knows their names: Emilia, Desdemona, Othello. But why do we not know Bianca? Who was the pale mistress? Liar or lied to? Instigator or victim?
Immersive and engrossing, Naomi Kelsey vividly transforms Shakespeare’s infamous tragedy into a psychological thriller set before, during and after the play’s events have unfolded, exploring the human cost of love and gaslighting, ambition and envy, and the making and breaking of one of literature’s most notorious villains, Iago, as one woman fights to prove her innocence – and save her life.
