This work of historical fiction offers fresh perspectives on the War of the Roses, known also as the Cousins' War. The events unfold through the eyes of Katherine Woodville, sister to Queen Elizabeth, wife of King Edward IV of England. Due to her elevation in status through her sister, Katherine marries Harry Stafford, the Duke of Buckingham, and both are alternate narrators throughout the book. Katherine and Harry wed as children, but little else is know historically about Katherine. Yet, the author vividly brings both her and her husband to life, adding a very human element to those turbulent times.The story is well told, as each narrative melds into the next seamlessly, while unfolding for the reader the dramatic and fascinating story of the War of the Roses. It is a wonderful blend of fact and fiction. Historical fiction is one of my favorite genres, and I was royally entertained by this well-researched book. I also enjoyed the author's notes, following the conclusion of the book. My only criticism of the book is that on occasion, the dialogue shifts a bit too much into the vernacular of today, creating a bit of dissonance in the narrative,which is the only reason I rated it four stars, rather than five. Still, those who love reading historical fiction will most certainly enjoy this book.
I enjoyed this novel for it's refreshing perspective on the Buckingham rebellion and the marriage between Henry Stafford and Katherine Woodville. It is a shame that one historical record can become the defining word upon such a thing as a marriage and the author quotes in her author's note the words of Dominic Mancini that are taken as the basis for the nature of Henry and Kate's marriage: "for, when he (Henry) was younger, he had been forced to marry the queen's sister, whom he scorned to wed on account of her humble origin". Therefore, it was very interesting to me to read a much more balanced version of their marriage and I felt as though Ms. Higginbotham gave sound reasoning for her decision to portray it as such. Sometimes we have to realize that the facts are there in front of us, if we would just get past the murky waters of historical bias.Overall, I really liked both characters and enjoyed reading of how their relationship changed as they grew up together. A child marriage may seem strange to a modern day reader, but through this novel I could clearly see how Henry and Kate became a strong couple due to their shared experiences in childhood as well as adulthood. It was very well-written.Even though it does not affect the quality of the novel itself I will note that the author is not a follower of Richardian ideas, which seem to be rather prevalent in historical fiction these days. That is not to say that she portrays Richard as a monster in keeping with Shakespeare, but rather he is not portrayed as either devil nor saint. He was a man as any other, with ambitions and dreams and a measure of both good and bad. However, if you do not respond well to anything other than saint then this novel is not for you. (Again, not a reflection on the novel itself, only a caution to those with strong feelings on the matter).In my opinion though, Ms. Higginbotham has researched the facts and portrayed the events in a way that resonates with her, as every Cousins War author does. Truthfully, this varied number of perspectives is one of the reasons why this is my favorite era of British history. I could read about it forever, and it would never get old!
From the sidelines, Katherine Woodville, sister of the queen, gives us an interesting perspective of events surrounding the end of the Yorkist dynasty. Told in first person both from her point of view and that of her husband, Henry the Duke of Buckingham, we get a tale partly informed, mostly biased, and sad in a pathetic sort of way. Katherine most certainly does not like the Duke of Gloucester, and she has a difficult time staying neutral in face of her husband's obvious hero-worship. When Edward IV dies and Richard immediately begins his campaign to gain the crown, the fate of her father and brother seals her hatred of the unpleasant new King.This novel is very black-and-white. We learn of Richard's guilt from his own lips in a neutral, unemotional way. There is no ambiguity, which I think would have made events more interesting. But Henry's reaction on hearing the fate of the princes in the tower is enough to explain his sudden about-face and his willingness to join the first rebellion. It is a tidy explanation and fits the most damning interpretation of Richard's actions. With his wife's encouragement, Henry commits himself to a doomed enterprise without possibly thinking of the consequences. Katherine, of course, must struggle on, deprived of her husband, her sons and her estates.The book moves along effortlessly and everything fits together. Perhaps limited by the first person perspective, many events were simply glossed over (like the executions of her relatives and details surrounding the princes in the tower). Nevertheless I found it a good read, even though there were no surprises.
