I couldn't put this book down! It is romance, suspense, and history all rolled into a great historical fiction package. The only issue I had was the fact that many of the characters share the same name by lineage. Though characteristic of the time period, it was hard to discern between each "Richard" or "Edward." I recommend this book and this author!
Another great read by Philippa Gregory.
You know Gregory's done her research & writes well, but I found this romantic story of Anne Neville & Richard 3rd curiously uninvolving & not as lavish as it could have been.
Can Phillipa Gregory do any wrong? Well yes. BUT NOT IN THIS ONE! I loved this book and I'm loving every book in the cousins war series almost as much as I loved her Tudor series. Gregory has a great point of view for showing how the women of the time delt with what their husbands, fathers, and brothers were doing.
Gregory's latest book in the Cousins' War series tells the story of Anne Neville, daughter of kingmaker, Richard Neville, who put Edward of York on the throne. Full of romance, intrigue, and conflict, this was an extremely engrossing read. Dare I say it was one of her best books to date!
