We love to treat our listeners to the most sought after books and in a podcast world premiere we’re celebrating the launch of Maggie O’Farrell’s hotly anticipated, soon to be chart-smashing historical novel, The Marriage Portrait. That’s right, this is the first podcast in the WORLD where you can hear an extract from the book!
Winter, 1561. Lucrezia, Duchess of Ferrara, is taken on an unexpected visit to a country villa by her husband, Alfonso. As they sit down to dinner it occurs to Lucrezia that Alfonso has a sinister purpose in bringing her here… He intends to kill her.
The Marriage Portrait is an unforgettable reimagining of the life of a young woman whose proximity to power places her in mortal danger. It is a MUST read and we hope you enjoy our exclusive message from Maggie and this podcast world premiere reading.Â
Published by Tinder Press and available now, we recommend buying from your local indie or you can get it from our shop at Bookshop.
Plus there are exclusive signed editions available at Waterstones for anyone who wants an extra special book.
