About this listen
A story spanning centuries. A long awaited revenge.
In London, journalist Jo Clifford plans to debunk the belief in past-lives in a hard-hitting magazine piece. But her scepticism is shaken when a hypnotist forces her to relive the experiences of Matilda, Lady of Hay, a noblewoman during the reign of King John.
She learns of Matilda's unhappy marriage, her love for the handsome Richard de Clare, and the brutal death threats handed out by King John, before it becomes clear that Jo’s past and present are inevitably entwined. She realises that eight hundred years on, Matilda’s story of secret passion and unspeakable treachery is about to repeat itself…
Barbara Erskine’s iconic debut novel still delights generations of readers thirty years after its first publication.

‘The author's storytelling talent is undeniable. Barbara Erskine can make us feel the cold, smell the filth and experience some of the fear of the power of evil men.' The Times
'Unusual, intriguing, cleverly handled and gripping.' The Good Book Guide
'Fascinating, absorbing, original – all such praise comes easily when describing Barbara Erskine's Lady of Hay. But perhaps the most suitable world is hypnotic.' SHE
'Convincing and extremely colourful.' The Mail

Lady Of Hay
Ms Erskine, I found over 30 years ago.
It was per chance I came across the First Paperbook of The Lady Of Hay.
Since then, I have been an avid Reader, and her most Amazing Works !
I listen to this Author every evening, prior and whilst O go to sleep. Am keen to start my next one.
Goodnigh

Enthralling
Thank you Barbara, Lady of Hay was the 1st book I read as an adult 20 or so years ago & I have been hooked ever since. I am amazed how you intertwine facts with your extraordinary story telling. I love your audiobooks too, they take you to another place. Can't wait for more. I love your books. You are an amazing author. Don't ever stop.
