We're delighted to see Daughters of the North by Jennifer Morag Henderson on the @highlandbookprize longlist! Congratulations to all the other authors on the list, too! Daughters of the North is available from all good bookshops, as well as online. Mary, Queen of Scots’ marriage to the Earl of Bothwell is notorious. Less known is Bothwell’s first wife, Jean Gordon, who extricated herself from their marriage and survived the intrigue of the Queen’s court. Daughters of the North reframes this turbulent period in history by focusing on Jean, who became Countess of Sutherland: the most powerful woman in the north. #bookstagram #bookcommunity #bookworm #scotland #scottishhistory #history #herstory #igreads #maryqueenofscots #marystuart #royalhistory #jeangordon #highlands #scottishhighlands #highlandhistory #womenshistory #biography
