Finally finished this. Life has been getting in the way. A great history as soap opera; long on gossipy detail and character, shorter on the wide angle analysis than perhaps I would have preferred. Cracking read though. #Booksof2026 No2. #AlisonWeir #WarsoftheRoses

“The sanguinary but necessary purgative” Great review in @lrb.co.uk by great Chris Given-Wilson @uniofstandrews.bsky.social of John Watts @ox.ac.uk, who gave the ‘Lydon Lectures’ in 2022 at TCD @historytcd.bsky.social. Yes, before you ask, CGW quote refers to #warsoftheroses not outcome of reading!
