About this title

Review:

"A painstakingly drawn picture of royal medieval England from bedchamber to battleground."
---"Los Angeles"" Times Book Review"

"The reader is left with the haunting sensation that perhaps the good a man does can live after him---especially in the hands of a dedicated historian."
---"The San Diego Union"

"Those who know Richard III from Shakespeare will find that Sharon Kay Penman presents a contrasting view of the English monarch . . . He's an altogether nice man, a romantic hero as suitable to our late twentieth-century standards . . . as he was to those of medieval England . . . There is a vengeful quality to her insistence that is appealing; it makes for a good story."
---"The New York Times Book Review"

"Ms. Penman's novel, rich in detail and research, attempts to set the record straight . . . it is an uncommonly fine novel, one that brings a far-off time to brilliant life."
---"Chattanooga"" Daily Times"
