The Swan-Daughter - Carol Mcgrath

. .

Résumé :
'Wise and lyrical . . . High romance in the true sense of the word' Sarah Bower

It is 1075 and life is changing for Gunnhild, innocent daughter of the defeated King Harold. Educated in Wilton Abbey, the death of her protective Aunt Edith leaves her facing consecration as a bride of Christ - something Gunnhild knows she was never meant for.

So when the handsome Count Alan of Richmond offers Gunnhild his hand, she seizes the opportunity to have the life she always knew she should. Even though Alan is a Norman invader, and her family's enemy.

Gunnhild vows to put the past behind her. But marriage is forever, and Gunnhild soon finds that Alan's love for her might not be as pure as she first hoped . . .

Biographie:
Carol McGrath is the author of the acclaimed Rose Trilogy - The Silken Rose, The Damask Rose and The Stone Rose. Born in Northern Ireland, she fell in love with historical fiction at a young age, when exploring local castles, such as Carrickfergus, and nearby archaeological digs - and discovering some ancient bones herself. While completing a degree in history, she became fascinated by the strong women who were silenced in record, and was inspired to start exploring their lives. Her first novel, The Handfasted Wife, was shortlisted for the Romantic Novelists' Association Awards, and Mistress Cromwell was widely praised as a timely feminist retelling of Tudor court life. Her novels are known for their intricacy, depth of research and powerful stories.
