I always want to know what the women caught up in the War of the Roses thought and felt. This books fulfills some of my longing. It is hard in our modern age to understand how so many families could destroy each other for, at best, a shaky crown.

The Stolen Crown was a wonderful read, on par with the historical novels of Anne Easter Smith, Alison Weir, and Phillipa Gregory. I loved delving back into the story of the Woodvilles, the marriage of Elizabeth to Edward IV, and the pull between the houses of York and Lancaster, but this time from a different point of view.
