Loved this book. I read a great deal of English Historical Fiction and loved the way that O'Brien took a little know figure in the history of The War of the Roses and brought her to light. Anne Neville Plantagenet as portrayed by O'Brien is a real, living, breathing strong woman worthy of the the Neville name. Other accounts of this time period make her seem a simple pawn, a light-weight or even worse superfluous. O'Brien protrays her not only as a true "King-Maker's" daughter but also potentially the human reason behind Richard III's quest for the Kingship.
Great book - worth the read
