Thanks to Sarah-Beth Watkins of Chronos Books/John Hunt Publishing, I am giving away one print copy of ‘Queen’s Sisters’ by Sarah J Hodder.
Description Queen’s Sisters by Sarah J Hodder
Whether Queen or commoner, the lives of women throughout history is a fascinating study. Elizabeth Woodville, ‘The White Queen’, managed to make the transition from commoner to Queen and became the epitome of medieval heroines – the commoner who married a King. When she became the wife of Edward IV her actions changed the life of her entire family.
Vilified both by their contemporaries and by many historians since, the Woodville family were centre stage during the reigns of Edward IV and Richard III. Elizabeth Woodville became the ancestress of future Kings and Queens.
This book takes a fresh look at the lives of Elizabeth’s sisters. Although information on them is scarce, by looking at the men they married, their families, the places they lived and the events that they lived through we can catch a glimpse of their lives. Each sister has their own story to tell and they may not have achieved the dizzying heights that their sister did, but they are all fascinating women.
Praise Queen’s Sisters by Sarah J Hodder
“The first thing I want to mention about this book is the cover, it’s a beautiful cover! I love the image of the crown half in light, half shadow which I suppose is how Elizabeth’s sisters lives were, thrown into the light of the court but in the shadow of their sister at times. This is a fantastic debut! Beautifully written and referenced throughout. I am looking forward to reading more by this author!” Endo The Road
About Sarah J Hodder
Sarah J Hodder began her career as production manager for Shire Publications, a unique niche Publisher that introduced her to an eclectic mix of subjects and encouraged her already well-founded love of books. Since leaving Shire to focus on motherhood, she has developed a passion for history, particularly medieval and Tudor, and reads everything and anything she can get her hands on.
Her focus is the role of women and she counts Elizabeth Woodville as one of her heroines. Seeing a gap in the market around the lives of the Woodville women, led her to write her first book on the subject.
