Description:A Type of Beauty is the story of Kathleen Newton (1854-1882). Beautiful, sassy Kate’s love affair with French artist James Tissot scandalises Victorian London. Her family background is Irish, Catholic, medical. Aged 17 she is outraged at being forced into an arranged marriage but travels to India to marry a doctor she’s never met; she ends up back in London with an unconsummated marriage, a pending divorce and pregnant by a captain in the Bengal Cavalry. Despite being shunned by society, she never gives up hope of finding happiness which she does in Paris when she meets the sensually, mysterious French artist. But hiding past secrets from each other, their love is complicated until honesty and destiny step in. A sweeping story set in London, Agra, Bombay and Paris, A Type of Beauty is a psychological portrait, exploring the forces of love versus Society.
