The War of the Roses from the perspective of the Duke of Buckingham and his wife Katherine Woodville. There is so much mystery about the events of this time period that even though you know the ending, every author had a different interpretation. I found this story slow to get into, but by the end I couldn't put it down. The alternating narrators enriched the story. Kate is a woman who faced a lot of tragedy in her life and had more common sense than the ruling men around her. Harry is a man who is impulsive and easily manipulated by those around him, yet the reader can't help but be somewhat sympathetic to his devotion. Overall, an interesting interpretation of the War of the Roses.
