The Mapmaker's Daughter
Description
'Oh my word… fantastic… [The] stories intertwine so beautifully, it's truly amazing. Such a lot of research must have to have been done but so worth it. I can't recommend this book enough.' NetGalley reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Could a rediscovered map show her the way? Present day: When thirty-six-year-old Robyn Willoughby discovers an exquisite yet blood-stained Tudor map in her father's antique map shop, desperate for a distraction from her problems, she decides to investigate. But as Robyn delves into the mystery, she finds herself caught up in a centuries-old secret - one that will change her life forever. 1569: Forced to flee Holland to escape persecution, twenty-year-old Freida Ortelius uses her mapmaking skills to start anew in London. Soon her rare talent catches the eye of Queen Elizabeth, who demands Freida's help in fighting the Spanish threat. Freida must now embark on a deadly mission, the consequences of which will echo down the ages… A sweeping and heartbreaking read, perfect for fans of Lucinda Riley and Kathryn Hughes. Readers adore The Mapmaker's Daughter:'Loved this… the characters were brilliant and the storyline was amazing, wonderfully written and descriptive, could not put it down.' NetGalley reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'This book has it all: history, intrigue, suspense, mystery, and a gripping narrative that kept me engaged from beginning to end.' NetGalley reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'Loved this book!… Great characters and story that intertwined. Highly recommended.' NetGalley reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'A joy to read… I loved the characters and the way the plot of both times weaved and intwined… Excellent.' NetGalley reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'Fascinating! I would recommend this book to all lovers of historical fiction without hesitation.' NetGalley reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - A beautifully written historical timeslip novel that effortlessly crosses centuries, set between modern day England and Tudor London. - Clare's previous titles have sold exceptionally well in translation with her debut having been translated in all the major European languages and her second title looking like it will follow suit. - The Tudor story centres around Elizabeth I - a figure of perennial interest in the entertainment sector, as evidenced by the many biopics. Also contains themes of espionage and warfare - something we know historical readers look for in their next read. - Accessible historical fiction, ideal for the commercial customer and loyal historical fiction fans alike. - Clare Marchant has two history degrees and a love for all things Tudor, so her research and attention to detail is impeccable. Competition: The;Dressmaker's Gift;Familiars;Lost Orphan;White Queen;Other Boleyn Girl;Lady of the Ravens;Clockmaker's Daughter;Six Tudor Queens;Seven Sisters;Daughters of War;. by;Fiona Valpy;Stacey Halls;Phillipa Gregory;Joanna Hickson;Lucinda Riley;Kate Morton;Alison Weir;Dinah Jefferies
