The Green Popinjays Eleanor Fairburn

North Riding, Yorkshire, 1293

Strong-willed, beautiful and unwilling to be shackled by the conventions of King or Church, Lady Lucia de Thweng is a law unto herself.

Dubbed the notorious 'Helen of Cleveland', her behaviour scandalised northern England in a time of political change and social upheaval. Against a backdrop of civil war and the tumultuous reins of kings Edward I and II, The Green Popinjays tells the true story of a little-known woman in history, bringing Lucia to glorious life, as she fights for her honour and the men she loves.

From the author of 'The White Seahorse' comes another sweeping historical novel, full of rich detail and vibrant characters.
