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.

I read the “Kingmakers Daughters” earlier in the year and I find her story fascinating. This book sounds interesting an I always like to read books that focus more on the women that played a part in history
Reading another book set in this period just now. I’d like to read this one too.
I recently brought my first Anne O’Brien book Devil’s Consort and I can’t wait until i start reading. So looking forward to reading this one. x
I would love this, I need new reading material!
This looks like a great novel about a woman and a time period that I know very little about! I would love to read it and get a little more background on the very beginnings of the Tudor Dynasty!
Oh I really want to read this one. I don’t know much at all about Anne Neville but sometimes the less known historical figures have the most intricate stories….definitely one to add to my reading list
Love the storyline, pleasing..
I might love the Wars of the Roses time as much as the Tudors. Look forward to checking this one out!
Sounds like a good book, would love to win a copy!
My favourite period of history, such a shame very few books are written about it!
I love reading about this period in history.
Thank you for the chance to win any of these books!
Looks good, and loving the cover.
Would love to win this! I haven’t read anything about her yet and this looks very interesting!
This sounds really good!
Thank you everyone for entering! The competition is now closed and I have the exciting task of selecting the twelve winners. Good luck. Natalie 🙂
