The Double Act

This early work by Claire Southwood has already been accredited with an Outstanding Literary Distinction by the International Impact Book Awards.

It challenges and inspires readers to ask:
“What if history doesn’t repeat itself, but simply waits to be resolved?”

Stretching across more than four centuries, two grappling sisters continue their family feud; one resentful, the other selfishly dark. The connections between past and present are endless and appear almost surreal, but once Amanda Sanders – the resentful one – accepts the origins of their dispute, things start to shift her way. Before she can make peace, however, she has to look back at Mary Boleyn’s life from the Tudor era, where our story begins.

Discover the hidden truths behind the obscure, historical figure of Mary Boleyn, and follow her life experiences as she spends her time in exile, abandoned and overshadowed by her sister who’d wrapped King Henry VIII around her wicked finger. Then move on to the present day and find yourself astounded by the many connections that bridge past and present. Are these mere reflections, or is history picking up where it had left off?

With past and present laid out alongside each other, The Double Act gives off a real sense of déjà vu, with a royally intriguing family drama right at its heart.
