Sarah Gristwood

Sarah Gristwood’s new work, Blood Sisters, is a fiery history of Queens, the dangers of power and of the machinations that helped to end the Wars of the Roses – the political and dynastic skills of women. This gripping story of the ways in which the female members of the Yorkist and Lancastrian families did their best to survive the devastating conflict that split their households and their country apart is utterly inspiring. Sarah’s wonderful writing really highlights the bloody and ruthless dangers that faced these fifteenth-century heroines. Come along to hear the thrilling real stories behind Philippa Gregory’s novels…
