  • Summary

  • Cecily, the debut novel from Annie Garthwaite, told the story of Cecily Neville, Duchess of York, through to the triumph of her son Edward in the Battle of Towton in 1461. In her new book, 'The King's Mother', Annie follows Cecily in her new role as King's Mother to Edward - a position virtually unique in English history. But she is not the only woman vying for that position...

    The book is a brilliant read, and we are very lucky that Annie Garthwaite will be joining us in person at Alnwick Castle to speak about it on Tuesday 9th July.

    Before that, our host Deborah spoke to Annie about the book, how she approached the history of the Wars of the Roses, and her depictions of Cecily, Elizabeth Woodville and Margaret Beaufort. You will also get an exclusive sneak preview as Annie reads a short excerpt from 'The King's Mother'.

    The book will be available from all good bookshops from Thursday 11th July. If you want to get hold of a copy two days before publication, tickets for our evening with Annie Garthwaite are available now - check alnwickcastle.com or visit our EventBrite page for all the details!
