The forgotten story of Cecily Neville, Duchess of York. A strong woman who claimed the throne for her family in a time of war…

‘A compelling story of divided loyalties and family betrayals. Dramatic and highly evocative’ Woman & Home

England, 1459. One family united by blood. Torn apart by war…

The Wars of the Roses storm through the country, and Cecily Neville, Duchess of York, plots to topple the weak-minded King Henry VI from the throne.

But when the Yorkists are defeated at the battle of Ludford Bridge, Cecily’s family flee and abandon her to face a marauding Lancastrian army on her own.

Stripped of her lands and imprisoned in Tonbridge Castle, the Duchess begins to spin a web of deceit. One that will eventually lead to treason, to the fall of King Henry VI, and to her eldest son being crowned King Edward IV.

O'Brien has a remarkable talent for enlivening historical figures. This particular novel was ripping good and prompted me to buy several other books by the same author. She is as good, or better than Gregory in my opinion!

5つ星のうち5.0 The sad fate of women during war told truthfully

Miss O’Brien has created a unique way to capture the fate of mothers, wives, daughters and all women who must live through the wars that men engage in. She tells the stories of women that suffered the consequences of their men’s ambition and greed through mostly embellished letters and chronicles penned during England’s War of the Roses in the 15th century. Women had so little control over their lives and destinies then, as they still do in many places in the world. Their stories are much the same as Duchess Cecily’s and that of her extended family and the poorest women caught in the wake of men battling to the death.
However sad the stories, the tale brings glimpses of love, hope, humor and suspense for both Yorkist and Lancastrian women. The bickering between sisters who were tied to men they had no choice in marrying was cleverly described. Ms O’Brien introduces the reader to the many characters and larger events during the debacle more appropriately named the “Cousin’s War,” since most contenders for England’s crown were the second and third generation descendants of Edward III and his wife Philippa of Hainaut. Queen Philippa birthed, I believe, close to a dozen children whose male offspring began to jockey for role of sovereign when the reigning king, Henry VI, was felled by mental illness - likely schizophrenia inherited from his French grandfather, the King of France.
While I do think that someone who is not somewhat versed in 15 century English history might be initially confused or lost by the number of characters introduced through the letters, the story told is engaging and becomes clearer as Duchess Cecily‘s story unfolds.
I offer one piece of advice. I recommend interested readers watch the made for TV series the White Queen adapted from the book written by Phillips Gregory, or better yet read her series of novels on the subject starting with The Lady of the Rivers. It is about time that talented authors and gifted historians bring the lives of these women to life because history is made up of much more than men and their wars. I believe the stories about women from all periods of history are much more complex, interesting and inspiring than the stories written about many of the men who have been made famous by male authors focused on men’s politics and wars.

An excellent novel about the Duchess of York, mother of 2 kings. The story is told through letters between the Duchess and her siblings, husband and children; through a newspaper reports and from her journals. A very successful way to have a deeper insight into the characters' thoughts. Choosing duty over love, ambition over justice, power over weakness, the Duchess's character has many facets, but did she reach happiness and peace of mind?
Highly recommended for readers fascinated by historical fiction based on real characters.
