I enjoyed this, the last in a trilogy, about King Richard III. He was unfairly maligned by Shakespeare howver Richard III was a man of conscience, who believed in everyone having the same rights. He passed laws especially to protect the poor, who were considered then to basically have no voice in regards to justice.
Unfortunately, Richard's life was one tragedy after another. He loses many of the people he loves and as a result seriously begins to question his "right" to the throne. While his motives are pure those who plot against him for the crown are not.
This was a very fast paced read. Those interested in this English period will be well satisfied. However I'd strongly recommend reading the first two novels in this trilogy first to really get to know the main characters and this time in history.

Well, I've just finished reading Rose of York Fall from Grace which I only received this afternoon! What can I say - wow!!!! I couldn't put it down! A fantastic finale to the Rose of York trilogy by Sandra Worth. Not for a long long time has a book brought me to tears - the death of Richard III's young son Ned, followed shortly by the death of his wife and Queen Anne was heartbreaking. The grief and sorrow for Richard was so well written your heart was as torn as his! I have really enjoyed reading all three of the Rose of York books, and I will be reading them again. The author, Sandra Worth, has certainly taken great pains over researching her subjects, and knows her stuff, and these books prove it. A well written trilogy.

I've read every Ricardian novel that I come into contact with, from Sharon Penman, Rosemary Hawley-Jarman & Rhoda Edwards. Each has their own style and Sandra is definately up there with them. This is an excellent trilogy and highly recommended to all Ricardians. I was unable to put these books down. Sandra's ability to paint a verbal picture of each scene is a talent that I much admire. I found that I was able to be there with Richard and Anne as they grieved for their son, experience the turmoil in Richard's soul as he decided whether to take the crown or not. Sandra portrays Richard as a man who is ahead of his time in his determination to improve England's justice system. One wonders what would have happened if the outcome of Bosworth had been different. Thank you Sandra!!
