A Rose for the Crown
A Rose for the Crown: A Novel | Anne Easter Smith
5 posts | 6 read | 9 to read
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.

A little bit of history today. Another #TBR on my shelf. The roses were on sale for $3 so I had to buy them. 😊😊 🌹

A ROSE FOR THE CROWN rich in details, intriguing characters and in-depth research. An intriguing story about a country woman who finds herself in the arms of an infamous king. I truly felt as though I were stepping back in time. I gave it only a 3 stars...could have been shorter (almost 700 pgs) towards the end it got a little boring to read. I am not sorry I read the book, I enjoy it. And I would recommend it to any fan of the War of the Roses.

One gorgeous fictionalized take on the history of Richard III, thought to have murdered his nephews he could ascend the throne . . . Or did he?

How can a historical fiction lover resist?

RadicalReader @TrishB seriously wish that the app for Litsy would allow you to see the caption for the picture you're writing a comment to would be so helpful because hate having to flip back and forth because I have the attention span of a goldfish 7y
