À propos de cet audio

As King Henry VI slips into insanity and the realm of England teeters on the brink of civil war, a child is married to the mad king's brother. Edmund Tudor, Earl of Richmond, takes his child bride into Wales, where she discovers a land of strife and strangers.

At Caldicot Castle and Lamphey Palace, Margaret must put aside childhood, acquire the dignity of a Countess, and, despite her tender years, produce Richmond with a son and heir.

While Edmund battles to restore the king's peace, Margaret quietly supports his quest; but it is a quest fraught with danger.

As the friction between York and Lancaster intensifies, 14-year-old Margaret, now widowed, turns for protection to her brother-in-law, Jasper Tudor. At his stronghold in Pembroke, two months after her husband's death, Margaret gives birth to a son whom she names Henry, after her cousin, the king.

Margaret is small of stature, but her tiny frame conceals a fierce and loyal heart and a determination that will not falter until her son's destiny as the king of England is secured.

The Beaufort Bride traces Margaret's early years from her nursery days at Bletsoe Castle to the birth of her only son in 1457 at Pembroke Castle. Her story continues in book two, The Beaufort Woman.

I liked the storey and I'm excited to listen to next book, the narrative is well done as well

great storey

Un problème est survenu. Veuillez réessayer dans quelques minutes.
I like Arnopp's writing overall, but this book was disappointing to me. It seemed to me that it mostly provided the backstory needed for the other two novels in the trilogy and did not contain enough interesting content to stand on it;s own as an individual book. To make a trilogy, writers sometimes have to pad one or more of the books to stretch it out long enough to make 3 novels. I feel like this one has a lot of padding, In fact, because I know Margaret's story I will probably skip the second novel because I found this one boring. I will move on to the third novel so that I finish more quickly.

Short, not very interesting, backstory
