The question ...This novel sounds very interesting. The question of what happened to the "princes in the Tower" and whether "Perkin Warbeck" was really Edward IV's son Richard are among the most intriguing historical mysteries, but the personality of Elizabeth of York, her relationship with her husband and her attitude to the man claiming to be her brother have also been the subject of as much speculation. Fictional portrayals of her, to me, mostly tend to be lacking, and novelists tend to go into extremes of rosy or blackened portrayal when it comes to her marriage. It is a welcome change if this novel has a more balanced and psychologically realistic portrayal.<br /><br />Just one nitpick regarding the review - one can hardly say that Richard III is portrayed as a monster in most historical novels. As a matter of fact, sympathetic portrayals of Richard III are far more common in modern historical fiction. But Shakespeare's play is still what most people first think of when they hear of him.Ivana Cvetanoviฤhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16337727730879110523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3264965526853735683.post-8293941131765908972015-07-23T01:41:58.328+01:002015-07-23T01:41:58.328+01:00Good review.I shall have to look further into this...Good review.I shall have to look further into this author's other works and have added this one to my TBR list.Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15096299164024429829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3264965526853735683.post-79079006517597857952015-07-22T17:27:03.727+01:002015-07-22T17:27:03.727+01:00The Giveaway is coming to an end now.
