Marion Taffe grew up surrounded by history. As a teenager, she spent weekends in Edwardian costume, showing tourists around the living museum that was her family home. After a 20-year journalism career, she started writing her own stories. Her debut novel, By Her Hand, is coming out in March with HarperCollins Fourth Estate. Set in tenth century Mercia during the reign of Lady Æthelflæd, the novel explores women’s strength, rage and writing. It is a tribute to the women whose words and names have been lost to time.
