Synopsis

Queen Anne, the last of the Stuart Monarchs.
A family divided by religion, a marriage blighted by still-births, miscarriages, the premature deaths of children; navigating the overthrow of her father, King James; becoming Queen, a role she never expected to fill; foreign wars, threats of Scottish invasion.
These poems tell a story of tragedy and triumph and are threaded with the story of her vital friendship with Sarah, Duchess of Marlborough.
These poems are a powerful and moving re-telling of a woman whose contribution to our national story deserves much greater recognition.
