LADY MARY

AGATHA CHRISTIE: A VERY ELUSIVE WOMAN

Why did Agatha Christie spend her career pretending that she was 'just' an ordinary housewife, when clearly she wasn't? She was born in 1890 into a world which had its own rules about what women could and couldn't do. Lucy Worsley's biography is not just of a massively, internationally successful writer. It's also the story of a person who, despite the obstacles of class and gender, became an astonishingly successful working woman. Agatha's life is fascinating for its mysteries and its passion.

ELIZA ROSE

Eliza Rose Camperdowne is young and headstrong, and as the only daughter of a noble family, she must one day marry a man who is very grand and very rich. But Fate has other plans. When Eliza becomes a maid of honour, she's drawn into the thrilling, treacherous court of Henry the Eighth. Can a girl choose her own destiny in a world ruled by men?

IF WALLS COULD TALK

Why did the flushing toilet take two centuries to catch on? Why did medieval people sleep sitting up? Why did gas lighting cause Victorian ladies to faint? Why, for centuries, did people fear fruit? All these questions - and more - are answered in this truly intimate history of the home.

JANE AUSTEN AT HOME

Jane Austen famously lived a 'life without incident'. But with new research and insights, Lucy Worsley reveals a passionate woman who, far from being a lonely spinster, in fact had at least five marriage prospects, and in the end refused to settle for anything less than Mr Darcy.
