Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Paperback. Set in the tumultuous period of the Tudors' ascent, The Pretender brings to life the little-known story of Lambert Simnel. From humble beginnings as a peasant boy, Lambert's life takes an astonishing turn when, at just ten years old, he becomes a claimant to the English throne as one of the last of the Plantagenet line. As Lambert navigates the treacherous waters of royal intrigue and court life, complex themes of identity, power, and destiny unfold, weaving a tapestry of ambition and survival in a world where the stakes couldn't be higher.A . . . transporting feat of imagination and storytelling.Maggie Shipstead, New York Times bestselling-author of Great CircleIn 1480 John Collans greatest anxiety is how to circumvent the villages devil goat on his way to collect water. But the arrival of a well-dressed stranger from London upends his life forever: John is not John Collan, not the son of Will Collan but Lambert Simnel, the son of the long-deceased Duke of Clarence, and has been hidden in the countryside after a brotherly rift over the crownand because Richard III has a habit of disappearing his nephews.Removed from his humble origins and sent to Oxford to be educated in a manner befitting the thrones rightful heir, Lambert is put into play by his masters. He learns the rules of etiquette in Burgundy and the machinations of the court in Ireland, where he encounters the intractable Joan, the delightfully strong-willed and manipulative daughter of his Irish patrons, a girl imbued with both extraordinary political savvy and occasional murderous tendencies. Joan has two paths available to hermarry or become a nun. Lamberts choices are similarly stark: he will either become king or die in battle. Together they form an alliance that will change the fate of the English monarchy.Inspired by a footnote to historythe true story of the little-known Simnel, who was a figurehead of the 1487 Yorkist rebellion and ended up working as a spy in the court of King Henry VIIThe Pretender is historical fiction at its finest, a gripping, exuberant, rollicking portrait of British monarchy and life within the court, with a cast of unforgettable heroes and villains drawn from fifteenth-century England. A masterful work from a major new author Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
