AN EVENING WITH ANNIE GARTHWAITE - ACCLAIMED AUTHOR OF THE KING’S MOTHER
Annie returns to Halesworth as her much anticipated second novel is published.
With energy and ambition, The King’s Mother takes us from the Wars of the Roses to the dawn of the Tudor age – and tells the story of those eradefining wars through the eyes of four women who shaped and suffered them: Cecily Neville, King’s Mother; Marguerite of Anjou, deposed Queen; Elizabeth Woodville, betrayed wife; and Margaret Beaufort, mother to an exiled son.
