Romance, Historical
History tells us that the intelligent, wealthy, and
powerful Margaret of York had everything any woman could
want, except for love. The acclaimed author of A Rose for
the Crown takes us between the lines of history and into
her heart.
It is 1461: Edward, son of Richard of York, ascends to the
throne, and his willful sister, Margaret, immediately
becomes a pawn in European politics as Edward negotiates
her marriage. The young Margaret falls deeply in love with
Anthony Woodville, the married brother of Edward's queen,
Elizabeth. But Edward has arranged for his sister to wed
Charles, son of the Duke of Burgundy, and soon Margaret is
setting sail for her new life. Her official escort: Anthony
Woodville.
Margaret of York eventually commanded the respect and
admiration of much of Europe, but it appears to history
that she had no emotional intimate. Anne Easter Smith's
rare gift for storytelling and her extensive research
reveal the love that burned at the center of Margaret's
life, adding a new dimension to the story of one of the
fifteenth century's most powerful women.
