This is the kind of historical novel that reminds me why I love the genre. It's meaty, it's exciting, it's engrossing, it's romantic, it's chilling, and it's absolutely un-put-down-able. This era (reign of Henry VII) is one I'm wholly unfamiliar with but Worth sets up the story and characters so w...
I read this novel because I wanted to find out more about Catherine Gordon but was very disappointed because this book was more sugary, candy floss romance (and it didn't even do that very well) than informative historical fiction. What "facts" were included were questionable at best and ridiculous...
History tells us that a young man known as Perkin Warbeck claimed to be the son of Edward IV, one of the lost princes in the tower and the rightful King of England. Supported by his *aunt* Margaret of Burgundy, he eventually came to Scotland and obtained support from King James in his efforts to inv...
The book is about Elizabeth of York, mother of Henry VIII.I was really hoping it would get better towards the end but not really. Always when I thought it got better, then it went down again. I did not like how young Henry VIII and Henry VII was portrayed or Rickhard III. Henrys were just too bad an...
A very flat HF that features Elizabeth of York, queen of Henry VII, and having her cast as Heroine as Martyr, being so good and giving that she sweats sugar when it gets warm, along with plenty of theories about the survival of one of the Princes in the Tower. Feh. I honestly don't think that I coul...
The King's Daughter recounts the life of Elizabeth of York, daughter of Edward IV, sister to Edward V and wife to Henry VII and mother to Henry VIII. This is all pretty much well known history and enough reviewers and the product page recap the main story line I don't want to rehash it again. Worth'...
I read this too long ago for me to remember it clearly. Although there were bits I liked (was this the one with the descriptive arrival into London via London Bridge?) I vaguely recall some aspects of it annoyed me greatly, but I think there was another similar book I read at about the same time (an...
Yet another attempt to tell the story of Richard III and Anne Neville, first book of a trilogy (no, I didn't read the other two). I found this one to be very dull to get through, and a thorough waste of my time. Only two stars. Skip this one and find Sharon Kay Penman's excellent The Sun in Splendou...
