I am delighted to feature this dual timeline historical novel on the blog today. Alexandra Walsh’s<\/b> The House of Echoes<\/i> was published by Boldwood<\/b> on January 30th.<\/span><\/p>\n


\u2018The Brandon blood is dark with lies and treachery and as it
\nflows through my heart, my vow is this: they will all pay.\u2019<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Hampton Court Palace 1530s<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Anne Brandon has always understood the power of a king\u2019s
\npatronage and, though the court of Henry VIII is a dangerous place for women,
\nas the daughter of the king\u2019s best friend, Anne feels safer than most. But
\nAnne\u2019s husband Lord Powis is tiring of her childlessness and when Henry VIII
\nbegins plotting to rid himself of a queen in his quest for an heir, suddenly
\nAnne\u2019s life is in danger. And as whispers of the name of her friend Anne Boleyn
\nget ever louder, there is peril in every loose word, every forbidden
\nconversation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pembrokshire Present Day<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Caroline Harvey has spent years helping her grandfather, the
\nreclusive bestselling novelist Dexter Blake, hide from his legions of fans in
\nhis home on the Pembrokshire coast. After his death, the vultures begin to
\ncircle Dexter\u2019s fortune. When Caroline\u2019s ownership of the house she has
\ninherited is called into question, her research into its history reveals it was
\nonce owned by Anne Brandon who had sought refuge there. Intrigued, Caroline is
\ndetermined to discover why Anne fled the court of Henry VIII.<\/span><\/p>\n

Two women divided by centuries but joined by secrets and
\ncourage. And when a twist in their histories threatens them both with the same
\nfate \u2013 losing the man they love \u2013 their revenge will be the same too. Because
\nthere\u2019s no one mightier than a woman underestimated or more powerful than the
\nneed to save those they love.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bestseller Alexandra Walsh is back with a compelling,
\ncaptivating insight into the Tudor court through the eyes of a woman who had
\nonly her guile to keep her alive. Perfect for all fans of Barbara Erskine,
\nPhilippa Gregory, Anne O\u2019Brien and Elena Collins.<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/i>My Thoughts<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

I loved following the two stories of these strong women. The Tudor story thread took you straight back to those times, full of period detail. In addition, you came to appreciate the place of women in the politics of the time. Disregarded by some, their talents were overlooked as they were treated by some as mere pawns as part of the family power struggle. In marriage, the lands and wealth of even the most aristocratic women were taken over by their husbands. They may have enhanced their husband’s status through their own family connections but it was the men of the family who made the decisions. Of course what Anne’s story showed was the ‘soft power’ of the females. They ran the houses and organised\u00a0 a large household. They facilitated the lives of their men.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 The present day story around the life of Caroline was quite different in tone. However, she too was in the background, facilitating her grandfather’s glittering literary career. Without her, there would have been no book series. Now that she has the chance to set out on her own ambitions, you realise that past secrets could harm her future.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 The two women complement each other with the strength of their personalities.The setting links both lives across the centuries, resulting in an engrossing read for readers of historical fiction.<\/span><\/p>\n

In short: secrets and mysteries across the centuries\u00a0
