Summary

Reckoned by those about him to be the most handsome man in the country, Edward IV has risen to the throne with the help of Warwick, the kingmaker. But even Warwick’s trusted advice cannot convince the king to ignore his passion for the beautiful widow Elizabeth Woodville – and when she refuses to become his mistress the two are married. Beloved of the people, Edward proves himself to be a strong king. Despite his mistresses, Elizabeth is loyal to the illustrious king, provding him with many children, among them Edward V and Richard Duke of York. But Edward lives recklessly, and on his death an incident from his past comes to light that will change the course of history….

Disappointing

Almost identical comment to above.
Enjoyed this book when younger so actively sought this out, now I have Audible.
The narration was so annoying & this completely spoiled my experience of revisiting a great story.
Very disappointing.
I feel I have wasted a Credit.

disappointed

Read this a couple of times and loved it. Had to stop listening after 2 chapters as the narration is awful.
