About the author
Penelope Clare
11 books3 followersPenelope Clare writes historical fiction about the people who lived history.
Her novels are shaped by a fascination with ordinary lives: the hopes, relationships, difficult choices and quiet acts of courage that rarely make the historical record, yet reveal so much about what it means to be human.
The Bold Series begins with A Bold Pursuit and continues with A Bold Adventure, following women whose lives unfold across nineteenth-century England, New Zealand and beyond. Each novel stands alone, with humanity at the heart of the story and history as the setting.
A lifelong lover of stories and family history, Penelope is often drawn to the gaps in the record—the places where the facts can tell us only so much.
The records ended there. The story began.
When she isn’t writing, she can often be found following genealogy clues, sailing the New Zealand coast, or wondering about the people behind another half-told story.

⭐ Editorial Praise for A Bold Adventure
“A Bold Adventure is rich, immersive, and emotionally arresting—full of striking sensory detail, authentic character growth, and a world that feels lived in. Evelyn is a heroine readers will root for: complicated, courageous, and utterly human. This is historical fiction that lingers long after the last page.”
