Carol McGrath is the author of the acclaimed She-Wolves Trilogy,
which began with the hugely successful The Silken Rose and
continues with the brand new The Damask 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.

This is an era and a family that I can't get enough of reading and
the author surely did them justice... Carol McGrath has done
impeccable research and is so very knowledgeable on these troubled
times
*Kathleen Ingram, Reading the Ages*
McGrath's research into the medieval quotidian is superb, and
beautifully translated into a pastoral fiction in the tradition of
Hardy
*Historical Novel Society*
Moving, and vastly informative, a real page turner of a historical
novel
*Fay Weldon*
