A Rose For The Crown

De: Anne Easter Smith

Narrado por: Rosalyn Landor

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.©2006 Anne Easter Smith; (P)2006 Books on Tape

A true masterpiece

A unique and fresh story that helps shed a positive new light on King Richard lll. I very much enjoyed the amazing storytelling of both writer and narrator. The writing makes you actually feel like you’re watching a movie; so descriptive that sometimes I cheered and cried out loud.

This book it truly my favorite up until now and I must admit that I didn’t think it would be that enjoyable because I was never a lover of Richard lll. All that has changed.

Captivating

Most English history novels put me to sleep so I was a little apprehensive about taking a chance on this book. Am I glad I followed my whim! I literally fell in love with all the leading characters and the novel has inspired me to look into other medieval dramas. The writer and the narrator are both outstanding and deserving of a standing ovation for this fabulous piece of fact woven fiction. Definitely one of the best 5 novels I've chosen from Audible. Highly recommend for both serious and entertainment readers!

love story

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and looking forward to the author's next book Daughter of York added to audible.com. This book is about a young girl and her life and loves in a turbulent time during the War of Roses. If you want to know the background to the Tudor time in English History and the politics of the time mixed with life in the middle 1400's this is the book to listen too!

Truly hypnotic book, read beautifully

I highly recommend this title. The book is truly engaging, and the narrator does beautiful job. As lightly historical novels go, this one is extraordinarily palatable.

Enjoyable

I enjoyed this book. Good story, good reader
