A superb heroine, the teenage Anne is vividly drawn, as are her suitors Richard, Duke of Gloucester, and Edward of Lancaster, and his domineering mother Margaret of Anjou.

I'd like to thank the publishers for sending a copy to The Bookbag.
Further reading suggestion: Elizabeth Woodville, For a fairly minor character non-fiction look at some of the women of this period we can recommend [[The Kingmaker's Sisters: Six Powerful Women in this novel, is the main subject Wars of the excellent [[White Queen Roses by Phillipa GregoryDavid Baldwin]]. For other great historical fiction set at around this time, the hilarious [[Kings of Albion by Julian Rathbone]] is highly recommended.
