About the Books

THE MEONBRIDGE CHRONICLES

Conflict and betrayal, but also community and love – everyday life in the 14th century… 

BOOK 1

Fortune’s Wheel, the First Meonbridge Chronicle

How do you recover from the havoc wrought by history's cruellest plague

It's June 1349. In Meonbridge, a Hampshire manor, many have lost their lives to the Black Death, among them Alice atte Wode’s beloved husband and Eleanor Titherige’s widowed father. Even the family of the manor’s lord and his wife, Margaret de Bohun, has not entirely escaped.

But, now the plague has passed, the people of Meonbridge must work together to rebuild their lives. However, tensions mount between the de Bohuns and their tenants, as the workers realise their new scarceness means they can demand higher wages and dictate their own lives.

When the tensions deepen into violence and disorder, and the men – lord and villagers alike – seem unable to find any resolution, the women – Alice, Eleanor and Margaret – must step forward to find a way out of the conflict that is tearing Meonbridge apart.

AUTHOR BIO

CAROLYN HUGHES started working life as a computer programmer, then a very new profession, but it was technical authoring that later proved her vocation, word-smithing for many different clients, including banks, an international hotel group and medical instruments manufacturers.

She’d written creatively for most of her adult life but, when her children flew the nest, writing historical fiction took centre stage. But why historical fiction? Serendipity! Seeking inspiration for her Masters project, she found a decades-old, handwritten draft of a novel, set in fourteenth century rural England… Captivated by the era and setting, she concluded that, by writing a novel set in the period, she could both discover the medieval past and interpret it – surely a thrilling thing to do! The first Meonbridge Chronicle, Fortune’s Wheel, was soon under way…

Eight published books later, Carolyn does now think of herself as an Historical Novelist. And she wouldn’t have it any other way…
