A historical-fiction debut

Bellaire author Patricia Bernstein (pictured, right, with Bellaire council member Win Frazier, center, and Dr. Johnnie Frazier, left) celebrated the publication of her fourth book at Brazos Bookstore. After publishing three non-fiction books, this is her first work of fiction. A Noble Cunning: The Countess and the Tower is a historical novel based on the true story of an 18th-century Scottish noblewoman’s plot to free her husband from the Tower of London before his scheduled execution. Patricia read from her new book, and showed images of the people who inspired her novel about a woman’s courage while facing religious and political tyranny during the British Empire.
