Thanks for this review. I was wondering how historically accurate it was, and you've answered my questions! .-= S. Krishna´s last blog ..Goldengrove – Francine Prose =-.

Great review, Meghan! I think that if Margaret Beaufort had been the shrew I had been expecting it would have made the novel almost intolerable because Elizabeth would have had no one to cling to. I'm really enjoying this time period and hope to read more about Richard III. The scene in the hallways was so wonderful and I'd like to read how more authors interpret him. .-= Literate Housewife´s last blog ..#202 ~ The Tudor Rose =-.

Great review! I have to admit, this is a period of history that I don't know much about. However I do want to remedy this, so please enter me in this giveaway. It looks like a great read, and I'm really interested in trying it out.

I recently read The White Queen and it whetted my appetite for more HF on the War of the Roses. It’s such a fascinating time period. I have another MCBarnes book but can’t remember which one at the moment. I will definitely hunt for it. Thanks for the great review!

I will be curling up with this book today and I am very excited to read it. Mostly because like you said War of Roses is a very popular theme in today's HF and Barnes wrote this book a long time ago so it will be interesting to compare. .-= lilly´s last blog ..To Serve Them All My Days by R.F.

Great review, I felt much the same way. I read it directly after reading THE WHITE QUEEN and although the pitch changed fromt he one book to the next, the story flowed well. I enjoyed trying to discern Elizabeth's feelings, and I am looking forward to the biography that is coming out by Okerlund. .-= Marie Burton´s last blog ..Book Review: The Other Mr. Darcy by Monica Fairview =-.

I read this as a teenage over 50 years ago, but don’t remember much about it. I’d love to win a lovely new reprint of it, and read it again. Thanks for the giveaway.
