The Beaufort Woman: Book Two of The Beaufort Chronicles
As the struggle between York and Lancaster continues, Margaret Beaufort fights for admittance to the court of the victorious Edward IV of York and his unpopular queen, Elizabeth Woodville.
The old king and his heir are dead, York now rules over England and the royal nursery is full.
But Edward and Elizabeth’s magnificent court hides a dark secret, a deception that threatens the security of the English throne … and all who lust after it.
In 1483, with the untimely death of the King, Margaret finds herself at the heart of chain of events that threaten the supremacy of York, and will change England forever.
The Beaufort Woman: One woman’s selfless struggle for the rights of her son.
My Review
This book is even better than the first. Margaret Beaufort has already been through a terrible ordeal and fate still has more installed for her. This book shines a bright light onto a woman who suffering seemingly knows no end, but whose determination can not be faulted. Margaret is a fighter, and she continues to be so in this book. She fights for her son, and she also fights for her place in the world.
I really enjoyed the author's take on the War of the Roses, and I thought the portrayal of this war, through the eyes of Margaret, was brilliant. It really did feel, at times, that I was standing by Margaret's side, witnessing events firsthand. This series is a must-read for lovers of historical fiction.
