She brings the same level of exacting historical detail to her novels as to her non-fiction writing, something her fans appreciate and look forward to in each new book.

Alison Weir was first recognized in the literary world as a writer of non-fiction history volumes, beginning in 1989 - primarily focused on English medieval history, and specifically the Tudor era.
