Light on Lucrezia

By: Jean Plaidy

Narrated by: Jilly Bond

At just 18, Lucrezia Borgia, the alluring daughter of the Pope, has already had her life touched by dishonour and tragic loss. In the decadent society of 15th-century Rome, violence is commonplace, and scandal is never far from the infamous Borgia family.

In the aftermath of her brother Giovanni’s brutal murder, Lucrezia knows she must build a life for herself if she is to break away from the corrupt world her family is tied to. Before long she is torn between her deep love for her husband, Alfonso, and her devotion to her brother Cesare, a man who has proved his brutal nature once and will not hesitate to do so again.
