За събитието

Author and host of History Bards and Down Under Interviews, Paul Rushworth-Brown speaks with Author Julian de la Motte about his best selling novel Senlac

Senlac, a two-part historical novel by Julian de la Motte, immerses readers in the turbulent period leading to the Norman Conquest of England in 1066. Opening during the Christmas of 1065, the novel vividly portrays a kingdom in crisis following the death of King Edward the Confessor. Harold, the Earl of Wessex, is hastily crowned king but faces immediate threats from Viking and Norman invaders, and his own brother Tostig’s thirst for revenge. With meticulous research and rich re-imagination, Senlac brings to life the visceral battles and intricate politics of the era, offering an unforgettable narrative that blends the detail of Hilary Mantel with the epic scope of Edward Gibbon. This meticulously crafted work is poised to be a landmark in historical fiction, captivating fans with its authenticity and emotional depth.
