Set in England in 1469 during the Wars of the Roses, A Marriage of Fortune follows the Paston family's struggle to secure their future after losing Caister Castle. Margaret Paston, the matriarch, orchestrates advantageous matches for her daughters to protect their family’s status. Eldest daughter Margery must choose between family loyalty and a forbidden love; cousin Anne Haute, betrothed to Sir John Paston, questions whether her alliance is built on love or duty. Against the backdrop of civil war and political instability, these women must decide what matters most: head or heart, reputation or scandal. Reviews “Anne O’Brien gets right inside the heads of her medieval characters!”— Joanna Hickson “A compelling tale of a family caught up in the turmoil of the Wars of the Roses … be warned: it’s dangerously addictive.”— Tracy Borman “A magnificently researched book which brings the Paston family and the Wars of the Roses to life in an enthralling story of strong women and advantageous marriages. I was completely hooked!”— Clare Marchant
