Book of the Week: Shades of Yellow by Wendy J. Dunn #HistoricalFiction #WomenInHistory #DualTimeline #RecommendedReading



Shades of Yellow


by Wendy J. Dunn



During her battle with illness, Lucy Ellis found solace in writing a novel about the mysterious death of Amy Robsart, the first wife of Robert Dudley, the man who came close to marrying Elizabeth I. As Lucy delves into Amy’s story, she also navigates the aftermath of her own experience that brought her close to death and the collapse of her marriage.

After taking leave from her teaching job to complete her novel, Lucy falls ill again. Fearing she will die before she finishes her book, she flees to England to solve the mystery of Amy Robsart’s death.

Can she find the strength to confront her past, forgive the man who broke her heart, and take control of her own destiny?

Who better to write about a betrayed woman than a woman betrayed?


Praise for Shades of Yellow:

"A novel that is impossible to put down, and begs to be read in its entirety in a single sitting, Shades of Yellow by Wendy J. Dunn offers a story that will ensnare your heart and overtake your thoughts. This is the kind of story that will stay with you for a long time after turning the final pages, for it is simply enthralling, and the characters are so alive in the pages that leaving them behind feels like leaving behind close friends."
~ Ellie Yarde, The Coffee Pot Book Club 5* Editorial Review

"Shifting between 2010 and the Elizabethan era, Wendy J. Dunn's compelling new novel Shades of Yellow explores the complexities of relationships, creative ambition, and medical pain through the eyes of two brave women living centuries apart. Forced to confront the decisions that have brought them to their respective crisis points, Lucy and Amy seek to rewrite their own destinies. A treat for lovers of history and strong stories."
~ Lauren Chater, author of The Beauties
