Description

Emma Darwin will talk about her latest novel.

A Secret Alchemy, which takes the story of the Princes in the Tower and brilliantly recreates the terrible and exhilarating world of the two youngest victims of the War of The Roses.

Using three voices: Elizabeth Woodville, the beautiful widow of King Edward IV, her brother, surrogate father to the doomed Prince Edward, and that of modern historian, Emma intriguingly weaves their stories together to unlock the long buried secrets that led to the Princes' deaths.

Emma is the author of The Mathematics of Love and the great-great-grandaughter of Charles Darwin.
