Pardon the pun, author's last name and well, you get it. This is the second in a trilogy by Sandra Worth detailing the life of Richard III. I found it to be much better reading than the first! The pace was much faster and I found myself with a REAL page turner in my hands!
In this novel Richard III is a conscientious, principled man and the author's story really brings this across. How difficult it must have been to become something you never wanted, King of England. Anne Neville, wife to Richard is also a courageous, strong willed person whose health was anything but. She also never desired to be a monarch, Queen, no less of England. Hers and Richard's lives were destined to be anything but what they truly desired. Their cherished but short lived privacy was shattered, especially when Richard accepted the crown. Their son's health was also a source of great joy but greater sorrow.
I vastly enjoyed this second novel in the trilogy and am very much looking forward to the third!

As with all Sandra's Worth's books, this wonderful novel really brings alive the characters with depth and substance. With a beautiful style that makes the story flow, Sandra Worth reveals Richard to be a man very different from Shakespeare's distorted picture of him. An honourable man who loved his family and his country, and who was loved by the people, and who was thrown into emotional turmoil by the events of the Wars of the Roses. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and am looking forward to reading Sandra Worth's most recent novel, "The King's Daughter"
The King's Daughter (Rose of York).
The King's Daughter (Rose of York).

Provides a vivid description of Richard's life from the war against France in 1475 to his taking of the crown after the death of his brother. It illustrates the impact that Clarence's death had on him, leaving him very bitter against the Woodvilles, including the Queen and his brother's children.
