The Mapmaker's Daughter

4.3/5

reader rating · 7,509 ratings

Clare Marchant's The Mapmaker's Daughter is a dual-timeline historical fiction novel published by Avon, set partly in 1569 and following Freida Ortelius, a young Dutch Protestant refugee who uses her exceptional mapmaking skills to build a new life in London — and is ultimately drawn into the dangerous orbit of Queen Elizabeth I. NetGalley reviewers and fellow historical fiction authors alike praised its intertwining storylines and depth of research, positioning it as a strong entry in the tradition of Lucinda Riley and Kathryn Hughes.
