Oh I think her historical facts are pretty accurate. Obviously she has to pad the characters out but I think she is pretty reliable in terms of contextual accuracy.
HiThe White Queen was a good book, I didn't like the Red Queen as much-but I am not really a fan of Phillipa Gregory.I think Sharon Penman is very good, very 'historical' rather than easy read historical, but worthwhile. The Sunne in Splendour was the first in a series, she has also written about Welsh history and others, especially |Henry ii and Elenor of Aquataine - excellent.Another good author is Elizabeth Chadwick, not as intense as Penman but very good. Good Reading!
" "Princes in the Tower".."Liz, it's not an historical novel as such but you might enjoy Josephine Tey's "A Daughter Of Time." A hospitalised detective, famous for his good judgement of faces, examines the case of the Princes in the Tower.
I'll look out for that. Like most of us here, I do like a good read and recommendations are always welcome.
"If you're interested in the Wars of the Roses and Richard III - try Sharon Penman's 'The Sunne in Splendour'. I read it a few years back and found it unputdownable.Thanks DG, had a look at Sharon Penman on the Fantastic Fiction website, she's written loads, going to look on our library website to see what's in stock. xx
