The War of the Roses turned England upside down. Between 1455 and
1485 four kings lost their thrones, more than forty noblemen lost
their lives on the battlefield or their heads on the block, and
thousands of the men who followed them met violent deaths. Yet
almost nothing is known about the thoughts and feelings of the
people who lived through this bloody conflict. Almost nothing, but
not quite. As they made their way in a disintegrating world, a
Norfolk family called the Pastons were writing letters - about
politics, about business, about shopping, about love and about each
other. Using these letters, the oldest surviving family
correspondence in English, Helen Castor traces the extraordinary
history of the Paston family across three generations. Blood &
Roses tells the dramatic, moving and intensely human story of how
one family survived one of the most tempestuous periods in English
history.
