Book description
In this superb novel, as spell-binding as any tale of high
adventure, but firmly based upon contemporary records, Richard III
lives again through the eyes of his intimates and the woman whose
ill-starred love brought him brief joy, and her a bitter consummation.
Against the background of lusty, fifteenth-century England, with its
superstition and witchcraft, its courtly manners and cruel
punishments, Rosemary Hawley Jarman presents a fascinating and
faithful portrait of one of the most enigmatic figures in our history
as he appeared to his contemporaries.
