Synopsis
Meg Giggs, the precocious daughter of Sir Thomas More, finds herself caught between her father's staunch Catholicism and the fiery Protestantism of her portraitist, the Bavarian Hans Holbein. Though set in 16th century Tudor England, the rhetoric of clashing religious sects and the constant threats of faith spilling into violence seems eerily familiar. Vanora Bennett, a former columnist for The Times, and known for her reportage on contemporary conflict zones, has written a debut novel that perfectly captures the emotional and political upheavals in a country undergoing religious change.

Publisher's Note
An epic tale set against a backdrop of civil-war-torn sixteenth-century Europe, portraitist Hans Holbein the Younger flees to the safety of Tudor England in order to escape artistic censorship, a refuge from where he paints two nearly identical portraits of Sir Thomas More's family that reflect subtle but significant differences. (Historical Fiction)
