Day three of our Twelve Days of Christmas Giveaway!
On the third day of Christmas my true love gave to me… the chance to win Anne O’Brien’s novel, Virgin Widow.
Virgin Widow by Anne O’Brien
All you need to do to be in the running to win a copy of Virgin Widow is to leave a comment after this post. A winner will be randomly selected and notified once the competition closes on January 12, 2013.
This is an international giveaway.
Here is the book blurb:
England, 1469. A daughter of Warwick the Kingmaker, Anne Neville cannot dictate her own future. Her marriage will be political, made purely to advance her family’s interests. But at the age of fourteen, her father’s treason forces her into exile, and into an uneasy betrothal with Edward of Lancaster. Edward is changeable and completely controlled by his powerful mother, Margaret of Anjou. In a hostile, impoverished court, Anne finds herself at the mercy of other’s whims. On her wedding night, the audience assembled to witness her bedding instead witnesses a royal humiliation. At the point of consummation, Queen Margaret forbids the act. Anne went to her husband’s bed a virgin, and she will remain so. The battle for the crown of England rages, and Anne’s husband must fight for his cause. But he is foully done to death by Richard, Duke of Gloucester – a man who twice before has been betrothed to Anne. Anne must decide where her loyalties lie. And during the reign of King Edward, the wrong decision could mean death.

Indeed, this sounds like a great book! 🙂
I would love to win that book 🙂
Sounds like a brilliant book!
This book sounds like a great read with its mix of fact and fiction, just love a book that can transport me back! x
Sounds like a really interesting book in one of the (in my opinion) most fascinating periods of English history.
This definitely looks like a book to read!!
Would love to win this!
Would love to win this book! Thanks!
This novel is going to be interesting! As Anne says in the interview, we always discover a weak woman used as a pawn, of course she was used as a pawn but it’ll be interesting to discover a new character! It was also interesting to discover Anne O’Brien’s way of writing! I try to write sometimes but I understand it’s difficult. You need to be inspired by the locations, unfortunately I cannot because I would love to write a novel about England, but I live in France and cannot travel a lot. But one day I will go and plunge into history by visiting the locations!
Waiting to win!

I loved reading your author interview and Anne O’Brien’s writing process. Thanks, Natalie!
I would so love to read this book, I love reading all your work x
A very challenging time in history. The main concern of all no matter what station in life they hold is to survive. It appears to be good reading about the battle of wits and wills.
This book sounds amazing!
The book catches my attention, as I have recently been looking into my family’s genealogy and I’m related to most of the people in this book. Even though a novel, I would find it interesting. Thank you – Sandie Reed
This book sounds lovely and it’s about characters I know very little about so would love to win
I would be very interested to read a novel on Anne Neville, as she does seem to have been neglected by writers, like it says on the book cover, ‘England’s forgotten Queen’…
Great review, has really caught my interest! Would love to read this book!
