I vaguely remember reading this long ago when I became interested in historical fiction. I now want to read it again & am glad it was re-released.

Thanks for the great review!

I might be the only one who *isn’t* over the Tudor craze…but I would also appreciate learning more about the Platagenets. I prefer reading about English history through the eyes of female protagonists — so this one sounds perfect of me. Thanks for the suggestion!

I first read this book as a teenager in the 1950s. I don’t remember much about the book except that I became very interested in English history of this era, and read 2 or 3 books about the wives of Henry VIII, and developed a reading interest in English HF that still exists today.

I read this book 25 years ago and it got me hooked on history. I’ve long since lost my copy and will be buying the new publication, I hope it’s as good as my memory of it, and it sounds so from your description. Thanks

I'm completely loving all of the re-releases of classic historical fiction in the last few years (thinking of the Jean Plaidy releases here). This is definitely something I'll add to my list of books to look out for! .-= b*babbler´s last blog ..Book review: The Nine Lives of Charlotte Taylor by Sally Armstrong =-.

Now that I've finished my review of Her Fearful Symmetry (so darn hard!), this is my next review. You did a great job with this one. I haven't read Penman, so I'm really curious now about how she handled the Princes. .-= Literate Housewife´s last blog ..#201 ~ Her Fearful Symmetry =-.
