OK there are two things I have determined about this book. First part of the confusion about following who is the focus of the story is that it changes. Indicative of the time many of the women have the same name but the author complicates it more by switching between Isabel, Anne, and their mother and then describing a third person in relationship to the person to focus.

Is this a presentation of facts? Are we making an argument or indicating the best guess based on what we know?

I am a little confused by the decision not to cite directly from the available sources. For instance letters or any details from the account records.

The snippet of information from Countess Anne’s letter was cool

I cannot imagine how Isabell must have felt at 16? Losing a baby and maybe it being stuck in limbo?

I am now confident that this book is being marketed incorrectly. This is basically a biography of Warwick.

27% in can count on one hand, the fact that I have learned about the woman on the cover of this book. Part of me wants to keep reading this because I have learned a lot of interesting facts about the wars of the roses however that’s not what I wanted to read this book.
