The King's Grey Mare
Autor Rosemary Hawley Jarmanen Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 ian 2008
The King's grey mare was Elizabeth Woodville, Queen and wife of Edward IV. Beautiful beyond belief, with unique silver-grey hair, she had once known joy of a marriage based on love—only to see it snatched away on the battlefield. Hardened and changed by grief, Elizabeth became the tool of her evil ambitious mother—the witch, Jaquetta of Bedford—who was determined that her daughter should sit on the throne of England. By trickery, deception, and witchcraft, Jaquetta's wish was fulfilled. But even a witch could not have known the tragedy which lay in store for the King's grey mare.

Recenzii
"'Lust, butchery and witchcraft... richly readable' THE OBSERVER, 'This book has mastered the bewildering shifts of power and concentration of allegiance of the period and made them an old-fashioned, close-packed good read... Few authors can capture the fifteenth-century so vividly' THE SUNDAY TELEGRAPH, 'A stirring story, told with great verve and a splendid feeling for history' WOMAN'S JOURNAL; 'With much dedication and with even more imagination Rosemary Hawley Jarman's version of the Wars of the Roses should intrigue all lovers of romantic historical fiction' THE EVENING STANDARD, 'A complicated tale, but an absorbing one, told with fine feeling for the beauty and the brutality, the pageantry and theunderlying squalor of fifteenth-century England' THE SCOTSMAN."
