Publisher's summary

The third and final instalment in Carol McGrath's beautifully crafted Daughters of Hastings series, perfect for fans of Alison Weir and Philippa Gregory. The Betrothed Sister is a stunning tale of the exiled Princess Gytha, daughter of King Harold II, offering fascinating insight into 11th-century Europe.

It is September 1068. Thea, also known as Gytha, the elder daughter of King Harold II, travels with her brothers and grandmother into exile carrying revenge in her heart. She is soon betrothed to a prince of Kiev.

Will her betrothal and marriage bring her happiness, as she confronts enemies from inside and outside Russian territories?

Will she prove herself the courageous princess she surely is, win her princely husband's respect and establish her independence in a society protective towards its women?

Same made up trite

Why can’t there be more Hillary Mantels or Anne O’Brian (The king’s Rival” - brilliantly written through letter exchanges. Sigh. I use this site to help me fall asleep but as a historian, these novels are pure tripe. Why can’t they use age appropriate female voices or in Mantel’s case, the actor that made lauded Cromwell on stage in London? Or deeper female voices which absolutely enhanced “Morgan is my name”? It keeps my brain awake and irritated at this point rather than soothing it in not running everything through my head when it hits the pillow. Stephen Fry and Mary Beard narrate their own works and they are glorious to listen to. Wake up audio book people! Biggest complaint I see on here is the narrator and their voice.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
