5.0 out of 5 stars The Rose of York: Love and War by Sandra Worth, 11 Mar 2004
Subject: Your Amazon.co.uk Inquiry From: info@amazon.co.uk This novel, set in the fifteenth century during England's turbulent Wars of the Roses, is a pure joy from start to finish- one of the best novels on the life of Richard III I've ever read- a breathtaking and passionate story of Richard's early life and his love for Anne Neville, Warwick the Kingmaker's daughter. It makes the character of Richard III come very much alive in prose that is powerful and vivid, gripping and deeply moving. If you are looking for Shakespeare's villainous, crooked, scheming King Richard, don't look for him here. This story is about Richard as a hero and lover, a man of loyalty, integrity and honour. Once I'd started reading Love and War, I couldn't put it down again until I'd read the very last sentence- it just makes you want to keep turning the pages! I'm very much looking forward to the second novel in Sandra Worth's Richard III series, "Crown of Destiny.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love and War Puts "Sunne" in the Shade , 22 Aug 2006
By Florence Graving (Houston, TX USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Worth's novel is, by far, the finest, most accurate, and most readable of all the historical fiction written about Richard III. Worth is an utter genius in bringing to life the turmoil, plots, and intrigue rampant in the 15thC. She has the unique gift of drawing the reader into the lives of Richard and Anne. I found Penman's "Sunne In Splendor" dry as dust and lifeless. Worth's weaving of the tale is vibrant and full of life. Her research is flawless. Her style is mesmerizing. I could not put this down. And I am ordering post haste the sequel. What a breath of fresh air is Worth's award-winning book. She incorporates the best of Plaidy and Seton. Worth is destined to become a major star in the world of historical fiction.

5.0 out of 5 stars A vivid and thrilling portayal of the true Richard III, 23 Nov 2007
By Christina Croft "Christina" (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is one of the most refreshing and realistic novels of that turbulent era that I have ever read. As a resident of Yorkshire, where Richard is still viewed as a hero, I found Sandra Worth's portrayal of him closer to the real Richard than any other writer has yet achieved. The man, rather than the distorted image that history so cruelly created, comes alive with each page. The vivid characterization and entrancing style creates the sense of living with the characters throughout the story, sharing their fears, sorrow and joys. Together with the equally brilliant 'Crown of Destiny' and 'Fall From Grace' we are given such a wonderful insight into the heart of the man as well as a glimpse into another era.
Sandra Worth is far and away one of the most gifted historical fiction writers of our time and I look forward to reading further work by so insightful an author!

5.0 out of 5 stars The early life of Richard III
A very vivid and evocative depiction of the childhood and youth of this much-maligned English king, including his relationship with Anne Neville, the love of his life.
Published 8 months ago by Devaki Khanna

2.0 out of 5 stars All right.
Like others, I don't know why this novel has won so many awards. She was better on 'war' than on 'love'. The love bits were simperingly twee. Read more

I don't understand how or why this book has won so many awards. Reading it was a painfully dull process. Many inaccuracies, which always spoil any historical novel for me. Read more

Oh dear. Don't bother with this one, read The Sunne in Splendour by Sharon Penman instead.
