Yesterday, Nicola Cornick’s latest novel, The Phantom Tree, was published
and to celebrate, I
am helping the publisher get the word out. It
sounds like it will be a great summer read – let me know if you decide
to pick it up 🙂 I’ll be listening to it on audio when I get a chance!
Title: The Phantom Tree
Author: Nicola Cornick
Published: August 2018, Graydon House
Format: Paperback, 384 pages
Summary:
“My name is Mary Seymour and I am the daughter of one queen and the niece of another.”
Browsing
antiques shops in Wiltshire, Alison Bannister stumbles across a
delicate old portrait—supposedly of Anne Boleyn. Except Alison knows
better. The subject is Mary Seymour, the daughter of Katherine Parr, who
was taken to Wolf Hall in 1557 as an unwanted orphan and presumed dead
after going missing as a child. And Alison knows this because she, too,
was in Wolf Hall…with Mary…in 1557.
The painting of Mary is
more than just a beautiful object for Alison—it holds the key to her
past life, the unlocking of the mystery surrounding Mary’s disappearance
and how Alison can get back to her own time. But Alison’s quest soon
takes a dark and foreboding turn, as a meeting place called the Phantom
Tree harbors secrets in its shadows…
A spellbinding tale for fans of Kate Morton, Philippa Gregory and Barbara Erskine by the bestselling author of House of Shadows.
