      The author definitely had an interesting concept for the book and the amount of research she did into the time period is readily apparent. However in a story that stretchs out for over 600 pages, the author never really manages to bring any of her characters fully to life or make the reader care much about their fates.

    • A slow start, but worth keeping with, as it develops into a most compelling tale. I'm particularly pleased that it dovetails with The Sunne in Splendour, one of the best historical novels I have ever read.

Book Description

AN UNFORGETTABLE HEROINE,

A KING MISUNDERSTOOD BY HISTORY,

A LOVE STORY THAT HAS NEVER BEEN TOLD

In A Rose for the Crown, we meet one of history's alleged villains through the eyes of a captivating new heroine -- the woman who was the mother of his illegitimate children, a woman who loved him for who he really was, no matter what the cost to herself.

As Kate Haute moves from her peasant roots to the luxurious palaces of England, her path is inextricably intertwined with that of Richard, Duke of Gloucester, later King Richard III. Although they could never marry, their young passion grows into a love that sustains them through war, personal tragedy, and the dangerous heights of political triumph.

Anne Easter Smith's impeccable research provides the backbone of an engrossing and vibrant debut from a major new historical novelist.
