Judith Arnopp writes historical fiction about Tudor and late-medieval England, frequently telling familiar political events from the viewpoints of royal and ordinary women. Her novels include stories centred on Margaret Beaufort, Elizabeth of York, Mary Tudor and the wives of Henry VIII, while The Winchester Goose follows a Southwark prostitute during the religious and political upheavals of the sixteenth century. Sisters of Arden turns to a community of nuns facing the dissolution of the monasteries, and the Henrician Chronicle retells Henry VIII's life from his own perspective across a trilogy. Arnopp's books are accessible, character-led and interested in domestic consequences as well as court politics. They fit Tudor fiction, women's historical fiction and royal biography-inspired novels, especially for readers who like long sequences around one dynasty. Read more Less
