Description

Perfect for fans of ‘Girl with a Pearl Earring’, this is a remarkable love story with a background of religious and political turmoil in Tudor England. The year is 1527. Hans Holbein makes his first visit to England, sent by the great Erasmus to paint Thomas More, courtier, scholar, patron, and his family.

More's splendid house on the river in Chelsea is at the centre of Tudor society, frequented by distinguished astronomers, artists, politicians and men of religion, as well as wards of court, protégés and many others. Two visitors to the great house find themselves irresistibly drawn to Meg Giggs, one of More's foster daughters.

John Clement – dark, tall, elegant – studying to be a doctor, is a man of compelling presence and mysterious background.

The other man is Holbein himself – warm, ebullient, radical and a painter of great renown.

Meg finds herself powerfully drawn to these two wildly contrasting men.

She will love one, and marry the other. A wonderful, rich novel, presenting the atmosphere of this Tudor household as rarely achieved, with an astounding ability to present to us the world of Holbein's paintings as well as a gallery of vividly realised characters.
