Accounts of the Wars of the Roses are dominated by men – kings and kingmakers, traitors and tyrants. But they were equally shaped by women, driving the action and risking their lives to secure the throne for their sons. From Cecily Neville, matriarch of House York, to Margaret Beaufort, mother of the Tudor dynasty, Annie traces the risks these women took and the prices they paid.
Reading from 
The King’s Mother,
 Annie will describe all that these women did and were driven to do to win the crown for their sons and become King’s Mother themselves. 
“This,”
 she says,
 “is a story of mothers and sons; of maternal ferocity and female ambition – and of all the terror that families can inflict upon themselves.”
And, by focusing on what these women wanted, suffered, knew and did,
 The King’s Mother
 gives us a fresh take on some of English history’s most enduring mysteries: Was Edward IV’s marriage bigamous and his children bastards? Why did he order the execution of his brother George, years after forgiving his treason? And did Richard III murder his brother’s children, the Princes in the Tower? The women were there – and they know the truth.
Annie will be signing books after a Q&A with one of our booksellers and the audience.
