Meet Annie Garthwaite

We're delighted to welcome Annie Garthwaite to Leeds for a signing of her paperback release of Cecily.

Cecily was a firm favourite with the people in Leeds when it debuted last year in hardback and we expect this to be one of the must reads this summer.

Set amidst the unrest and political powerplay of fifteenth-century England, Garthwaite’s vivid, breath-taking novel reimagines the life of Cecily, Duchess of York – a mother, wife and shrewd political player in the Wars of the Roses.

Told through the eyes of its greatest unknown protagonist, this astonishing debut plunges you into the closed bedchambers and bloody battlefields of the first days of the Wars of the Roses, a war as women fight it.
