It is 1537 and King Henry VIII is on the hunt for a bride... the richly absorbing, vividly imagined story of Elizabeth Seymour and her marriage to Gregory Cromwell
A mother, a wife, a woman of substance...
At nineteen, Elizabeth Seymour is already a mother, has been recently widowed, and seen her Queen, Anne Boleyn, lose her life. Against the wishes of her father, she heads North, away from Wulf Hall and the court in London to Yorkshire, determined to establish a new beginning as a landowner and business woman. As her family in Wiltshire curry favour with King Henry, aided by Thomas Cromwell, Elizabeth makes Kexby Manor her home, finding loyalty among her people there.
Soon, news comes to Elizabeth of the King''s desires for her sister, Jane and while her brother, Edward, encourages her own betrothal to Gregory Cromwell, son of Thomas. It is a happy second marriage for Elizabeth, but it brings unwanted involvement in the dark plots and secrecy of the court, while in the wider country, changes in religious practice threaten to alter the traditions and values of all she has known...
THE QUEEN''S SISTER vividly imagines the story of the woman possibly portrayed in Hans Holbein''s beautiful painting ''Portrait of a Lady,'' and is a colourful, meticulously researched novel of Tudor life behind the scenes.
What readers say about Carol McGrath''s novels:
''Another beautifully crafted, well-researched work of historical fiction from Carol McGrath''
''Brimming with intrigue, tension and adventure, The Lost Queen is a powerful Medieval tale full of atmosphere, danger and emotion and transports the reader to another world''
''The story of Matilda is strikingly brought to life with this beautiful written novel''
