Wicked Baby - Softcover

It’s 1960, and a seventeen year-old girl is alone in London. While working as a dancer in a club, she meets a jaded society doctor who introduces her to rich and powerful men. But Christine Keeler is much more than just another empty-headed beauty. Privy to secrets that threaten the heart of government, she is hunted down and forced to tell the truth as she sees it. 'Wicked Baby' is a novella based on the events of the Profumo Affair, a tale of innocence corrupted that dares to imagine the complex desires and motives behind a very English scandal. "Tara has the ability to creep under the skin of her subject matter without making judgments ... her bravery and her natural-born writer’s empathy rewarded her with a novella that must be the most unique work of ‘faction’ that I have read this year." — Binnacle Press "The simple factual tone blends the efficiency of journalism with the immediacy of fairytale ... the sweep across all the major figures convincingly portrays the atmosphere of the dawning of the Sixties." — Alwyn W. Turner, author of 'Halfway to Paradise' and 'The Biba Experience' "This is as fine an introduction to the Profumo Affair as you are ever likely to meet." — Tregolwyn Book Reviews
