A new eBook from historical novelist, Pamela Gordon Hoad, is now available on Kindle.
The Stitched Record tells of events before and after the Norman Conquest from the point of view of some less well known players in the saga. The book weaves together two accounts. One follows the life of Harold Godwinson but focuses on his younger brother, Gurth, who has his own passionate tale to tell of hero-worship, debauchery, disillusion, loyalty, desire and devotion. The second account introduces the lives of women, harshly impacted by events but barely reflected in the records. Some are real but shadowy, others fictitious like Godia who recounts the story of the important people she serves. She also tells of her own life and that of her troubled daughter, Aelfgifu, who possesses strange powers which torment her and bring anguish to those she loves.
