Brought everything to life so vividly

May 8, 2023, 9:29 a.m. A review for 'A Woman of Noble Wit', by Patricia Harrison

After listening to your really interesting and inspiring talk on Zoom with the DFHS I bought your book which I have just finished. I enjoyed it so much and having read a lot from the Tudor period it was so good to read about it from the Devon perspective especially being a Devon girl myself and knowing all the places in it. You brought everything to life so vividly. Thank you so much. I shall look forward to your nextbook.

We organisers were thrilled to see so many people there; we have found that …


An Incredible Book

Jan. 24, 2023, 9:17 a.m. A review for 'A Woman of Noble Wit', by Dr Marilyn Fryer

This book is a joy to read. Rooted in meticulous historical research, it offers a unique insight into the life of a Tudor noblewoman including the strictures she endures and eventually overcomes. This is set against a backcloth of war and social upheaval which challenges her, her family, and others - rich and poor.
