Author Biography Carol McGrath is the author of the acclaimed Rose Trilogy - The Silken Rose, The Damask Rose and The Stone Rose. Born in Northern Ireland, she fell in love with historical fiction at a young age, when exploring local castles, such as Carrickfergus, and nearby archaeological digs - and discovering some ancient bones herself. While completing a degree in history, she became fascinated by the strong women who were silenced in record, and was inspired to start exploring their lives. Her first novel, The Handfasted Wife, was shortlisted for the Romantic Novelists Association Awards, and Mistress Cromwell was widely praised as a timely feminist retelling of Tudor court life. Her novels are known for their intricacy, depth of research and powerful stories.For more news, exclusive content and competitions, sign up to Carols newsletter at: Follow her on Facebook: /CarolMcGrathAuthor1 And Twitter: @CarolMcGrath Review PRAISE FOR THE STONE ROSE:From the atmospheric opening to the beautifully satisfying ending, it is a real tour de force of gripping writing, rich historical detail and complex, fascinating characters.
