Allow time and lots of it. cant put it down. The characters are so compelling and based on true history it gives an insight into English history. I love all her books just the right blend of fact and fiction to make the story come alive and make you want to investigate the battles, Ludlow, Tewksbery to name ut too. Truly a fantastic read.

The Cousins War, or War of the Roses, was a pivotal moment for England. This book is superb, and Sharon Penman leagues ahead of her peers in her research and writing. Highly entertaining and informative.

This book is just fabulous, one of the best historical novels I have read. The detail is all there, all based on actual facts, with fleshing out of the characters using a wonderful sense of imagination coupled with a real sense of what "could have" happened. Most of us think we know all about Richard III and the princes in the tower, but Penman makes of him a real person with feelings and emotions, plus a different take on the legend (which of course it is, as no-one really knows what happened!), all of which makes absolute sense to me. Despite the length of the book, (882 pages) I could not put it down and felt a real sense of loss when finished. I have real all of Penman's books and enjoyed them, but this is most certainly the best.
