Old Bones
Rachel Di Placito
Love, loss and betrayal; the life of Cecily Neville, Duchess of York and mother of two kings. A beloved daughter who made a great dynastic marriage, Cecily Neville’s future was bright and promising. Changing fortunes saw her live through the Wars of The Roses between the Houses of York and Lancaster. During this time, she watched her husband, and four sons go to their graves amid the violence of fifteenth century England. She dedicated her life to her family and to God, but this was not enough to save them from treason and battle.Cecily was a woman of influence with royal blood, from whom all English and British monarchs now descend. She experienced tumult and heartbreak during her remarkable life but would only find her way back to her family in death.Renowned historical author Toni Mounts says ‘This poignant and well researched book is a delight to read for all lovers of history and family sagas, but keep the tissues handy because only those with the stoniest heart won’t require them. Rachel Di Placito knows her stuff and writes with great charm and deep feeling for her subject. A most enjoyable read.’
