Fans of Philippa Gregory’s The White Queen will be drawn to Anne O’Brien’s story of Anne Neville, the Virgin Widow who became the Queen of England.
Anne was the daughter of the greatest powerbroker in the land, Warwick the Kingmaker. When her father was caught plotting to depose the Yorkist King, Anne and her family were forced into exile. Humiliated and powerless in a foreign land, she risked losing her family, her position and her greatest love as she became a pawn in an uncertain game.
The Virgin Widow has been commended. Author Karen Harper said, “O’Brien weaves love, lust, tragedy and triumph into a rich historical tapestry to treasure. The vibrant characters leap off the page”.
