Helene Harrison studied at the University of Northumbria in Newcastle, achieving both a BA and an MA in History before going on to complete an MSc in Library Management.

Her first book 'Elizabethan Rebellions: Conspiracy, Intrigue and Treason' was published in January 2023 and her second book 'Tudor Executions: From Nobility to the Block' wi ...more

Book Review – ‘The Rest is History: History’s Most Curious Questions Answered’ by Tom Holland and Dominic Sandbrook

I really enjoyed this romp through history. As usual with me, however, some of the jokes went over my head and I had to look a couple up which was a little annoying for me reading. But it was a great read, not too meaty on topics which were new to me which was good. … Continue reading Book Review – ‘The Rest is History: History’s Most Curious Questions Answered’ by Tom Holland and Dominic Sandbroo Read more of this blog post »

This is my favourite of this series without a doubt. We see the fear that Samson has been living with in the previous six books come to a head and things start to come together to exonerate him, though there are still questions that remain. I've got ...more

This was a delightful little book. I love the idea of a slow-burn romance written through physical letters rather than texts or emails. It's the kind of thing I really enjoy. And taking place in the beautiful city of Paris, where I've never been but ...more

Quotes by Helene Harrison  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“One noble died of treason, but there was always another who would continue plotting. Treason remains on the statute book, enshrined in law today, though not an oft used law. When we think of treason and tyrannical monarchs, Henry VIII is usually pretty high on the list. He redefined treason to be what he wanted it to be and, as a result, opened the doors to multitudes of treason trials and the depletion of the English nobility.”
Helene Harrison, Tudor Executions: From Nobility to the Block

“It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live.”
J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

“Does not everything depend on our interpretation of the silence around us?”
Lawrence Durrell, Justine

“Wisdom is oft-times nearer when we stoop
Than when we soar.”
William Wordsworth, The Excursion 1814

“Grief does not expire like a candle or the beacon on a lighthouse. It simply changes temperature.”
Anthony Rapp, Without You: A Memoir of Love, Loss and the Musical 'Rent'

“If you are lazy, and accept your lot, you may live in it. If you are willing to work, you can write your name anywhere you choose.”
Gene Stratton-Porter, A Girl of the Limberlost
