I received this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

A Tapestry of Treason is another wonderful web of manoeuvres in the shadows, skulduggery and slight of hand in the court of King Henry. The role of women, primarily of Constance of York and her ambitious family gets a welcome light cast on her path in a well written, beautiful constructed novel.

While it can be frustrating that many women that were recorded in history during this period are portrayed as devious she-wolves, I think perhaps in the case of Constance, it may be justified. Anne O’Brien gets under the skin of Constance, holding up her flaws and ruthless ambitions like watching a collision in slow motion.

Fans of Philippa Gregory or Alison Weir should not be disappointed with this book. A historical literary triumph for fans of this period.

(Unable to leave a review on Amazon as the title isn’t out yet)

Another brilliant book by Anne O'Brien. You can feel the atmosphere and intrege in the court of king Henry. The book centres around Constance and as is usual with Anne's books it brings to light a woman who would be on the fringes of court life.
A very satisfying read.
Perfect for fans of Anne O'Brien and Elizabeth chadwick in fact anyone who enjoys well written historical fiction will love this new book.

A Tapestry of Treason is a stunning novel. The character of Lady Constance is a revelation - she is perhaps the most complicated of Anne O'Brien's historical 'women' to date, and the book delightfully fluctuates between the conspiracies and treasons that she's involved in, even though she is, but a woman in a man's world. How she survived the king's wrath on so many occasions is a bit of a miracle.

In the end, I was completely hooked on the novel, and just read the last 40% or so in one sitting, in heightened anxiety from each high to each new low. Lady Constance certainly wins the heart of the reader, even if she herself would never admit to even having a heart.

I believe this might is the best of Anne O'Brien's books to date.

I will review online closer to the release date.
