Description
Cecily is a gripping epic that reimagines the War of the Roses from a uniquely female perspective. In 1431, a woman's defiance can be a deadly sin, as England's struggle with France and the corrupt government's power-hungry men threaten the fragile king's grip on sanity.
Against this treacherous backdrop, Cecily must navigate the treacherous world of court politics and war, where her courage, cunning, and ambition will be tested to the limit. With its vivid portrayal of women's experiences in a time of war, this novel sheds new light on a pivotal moment in English history.
With masterful writing and immersive storytelling, Annie Garthwaite brings to life a tour de force of a heroine who stalks the corridors of power like a female Thomas Cromwell. a worthwhile read for anyone interested in historical fiction and feminist retellings.
