This is the enthralling story of the lives of two remarkable women: women who have been defined by history as Henry VIII's sisters, but who were strong, fierce and sensual characters in their own right.
Actrice en schrijfster Maria Perry creëert verhalen die, ondanks een opvoeding vol oppervlakkigheden, diep duiken in de complexiteit van de menselijke natuur. Haar reis, gekenmerkt door overstappen van de journalistiek naar podiumkunsten, leidde haar uiteindelijk tot schrijven, waar haar scherpe geest en scherpe observaties floreren. Perry's proza wordt gekenmerkt door een scherpzinnig, vaak ironisch, onderzoek naar maatschappelijke conventies en het streven naar status. Ze verkent thema's van identiteit en ambitie met elegantie en intelligentie.
