'Gripping' The Times 'Fans of Philippa Gregory and other historical
fiction writers will love Anne O'Brien's A Tapestry of Treason'
Yours Her actions could make history - but at what price? 1399:
Constance of York, Lady Despenser, proves herself more than a mere
observer in the devious intrigues of her magnificently
dysfunctional family, The House of York. Surrounded by power-hungry
men, including her aggressively self-centred husband Thomas and
ruthless siblings Edward and Richard, Constance places herself at
the heart of two treasonous plots against King Henry IV. Will it be
possible for this Plantagenet family to safeguard its own political
power by restoring either King Richard II to the throne, or the
precarious Mortimer claimant? Although the execution of these
conspiracies will place them all in jeopardy, Constance is not
deterred, even when the cost of her ambition threatens to overwhelm
her. Even when it endangers her new-found happiness. With treason,
tragedy, heartbreak and betrayal, this is the story of a woman
ahead of her time, fighting for herself and what she believes to be
right in a world of men. Praise for A Tapestry of Treason

women, and the compassion and strength of this real-life figure
