This captivating novel evolves like a detective story, as a family member airbrushed out of history sets out to uncover the well-kept secrets of the three Boleyn women: Why was Mary, King Henry VIII's sweetheart, unaccountably disgraced and banished from court? How did Anne come to be executed, along with her brother and four others, on false, trumped-up charges? And what drove Jane, first to give false fatal evidence against her own kin, and then risk - and lose - her head for the part she played in Queen Katherine Howard's adultery? The startling conclusion of this book, endorsed by eminent Tudor historians, settles these age-old mysteries.

Doonreagan House in Cashel, Connemara, for many years home to the author of this play, was where future Poet Laureate Ted Hughes took refuge in the late 1960s, after the death of his wife Sylvia Plath. With him were his two young children by Sylvia, as well as his lover Assia Wevill and baby daughter Schura. Doonreagan explores the doomed relationship between Ted and Assia during their brief but intense spell in Connemara: an ultimate test of conjugality and family life, at which neither of them had excelled so far. Based on years of personal research and experience, Doonreagan opens up new angles on this tragic triangle drama and the mystery of Sylvia Plath's death.

Här möter vi ett vitt skiftande persongalleri, från familjemedlemmar till världsberömda kulturpersonligheter.I skildringarna upptäcker författaren oväntade samband mellan människorna hon älskat, förlorat och burit med sig genom livet. Sakta växer ett större mönster fram som också berättar historien om henne själv.

En bok om hur människorna omkring oss formar våra liv och hur deras berättelser till slut också blir våra egna.Boken innehåller dessutom QR-koder till en personlig spellista och ett omfattande fotogalleri som fördjupar läsningen av boken.
