| William Constable seemed to me an unlikely spy, which I guess is why he was so good at it. He was a moral man, in some ways almost an innocent, and seemed quite vulnerable to evil forces that stopped at nothing to get their way. One wonders who was m ...more | |

"Audio review - 18 September 2020
Stella Riley only became known to me five years ago when a respected reviewer friend recommended her books on Goodreads. I was intrigued and chose The Marigold Chain for my first read, based purely on the title (I am a" Read more of this review » |

| It is refreshing to see a book dedicated to the women of the Middle Ages who are so frequently given short shrift—even the queens, unless they were very, very bad. Amy Licence has given us a balanced look at the women related to the Lancastrian dynas ...more | |

You are very sweet, Majenta. I'll be out very soon with book 3 of my trilogy, then on to a different century. I love the Godwines and will miss them, but so many other histories await!
