DESCRIPTION:
Yet more poor chick lit on Richard III Pros and cons of digital selfpublishing: everything and anything is made available to the public, and this is even more true in the case of the hoard of authors bandwagoning the renewed interest on the figure of Richard III, who must be turning in his newly built grave in Leicester at the thought that his name is so poorly spent.In this unscrutinised market, it's up to the readers to try and make their own choices on where to spend their hard earned money and spe. Not what you might think (in a good way!) - Spoiler included Obviously this is a controversial book, depicting as it does the alleged relationship between Richard III and his niece, Elizabeth. However, some might be surprised to learn that NO incest takes place at all. Instead the author depicts a touching, poignant and plausible emotional relationship between a man desperately distressed at his wife's illness and death and weighed down by the cares and responsibilities of kingship and his niece who desperately seeks love.
Impatient to be wed and desiring a crown like her mother before, Elizabeth also yearns to be loved. While Tristan and Iseult tread an impassioned path through their ancient tale, the road Elizabeth must walk in the months before Bosworth is no less perilous.. Elizabeth has been welcomed into the court of her uncle, King Richard III. Over the Yuletide celebrations she has received generous gifts, learned to love her gentle aunt and discovered her uncle is not the monster she was taught to expect. As the queen's health fails and Elizabeth's relations with her sister grow more difficult, the New Year begins in a storm of emotion. Believing she has met the one man who can offer all this and more, it does not occur to her there is a price to be paid for such riches
