This was another intriguing story from Alexandra Walsh. Based on Anne Brandon, who was at the court of Henry V111 and related to or knew many of the main characters in his turbulent reign, and who had domestic problems of her own. The 1500s weren’t a great time to be a woman. This is a book about lies, ambition, treachery and gender. The character at the centre of the present day timeline had secrets of her own, and this was very cleverly done. A book with strong female characters and a nice dose of history always works for me. Thanks to NetGalley for an opportunity to review this book.

Another excellent novel by this author, with a good story that I got into straight away and well drawn characters. Thank you to netgalley and the publishers for giving me a copy of the book which I highly recommend to anyone who loves historical fiction.

The House of Echoes by Alexandra Walsh

Loved the book as I enjoy dual timeline titles and the Tudor period so win win !

Set in 1530s and we are mainly following Anne Brandon daughter of Charles Brandon. She has a friend , Anne Boleyn,Henry V111 wife and she is not providing him with the son he so much craves.

In present day we are with Caroline Harvey grandfather is retired Dexter Blake and lives in his home in Pembrokeshire . Caroline inherits his home and research,shows that Anne Brandon also lived there whilst fleeing Henry's court. Why was this and what happened ?
I enjoyed both timelines equally and also the way they were linked , both the eras and the lives of Anne and Caroline.
