Description

The Wars of the Roses The greatest prize, and the most deadly - the crown of England Reay Tannahill's enthralling new novel is a family saga in the grand tradition, a tale of brother against brother, cousin against cousin, of love, hate and intrigue, of women inescapably entangled in the fates of their men, and of a mystery that has exercised people's minds for more than five hundred years. At the heart of it all is the dangerous, complex human being known to history as Richard III. For show more centuries, Richard has been held guilty of murdering the Princes in the Tower. Reay Tannahill offers a less conventional solution in what is perhaps the best and without doubt the most moving novel she has yet written. show less

Very realistic book about Rickhard III. He was trying to do the right thing but was cabable of being ruthless when needed. I really liked how relationship between Rickhard and Anne Neville is portrayed.
I agree with Rivercassini, I got this book out, also because i wanted to read about Richard the III, whom so many have slandered, and i'm afraid i couldn't get into it. Nothing happened to interest me, and i didn't like the way the characters were displayed.

I returned it to the library rather quickly i'm afraid and am rather disapointed with it.
