The King's Grace

The Kings Grace by Anne Easter Smith

I really enjoyed this book. I love history anyway, but this made it real. It seems to me that it's not only the men in power are the ones that cause trouble, it's also the women. I enjoyed Grace's story. I could only shake my head when her aunt Margaret caused so much trouble. I now want to read more about the War of the Roses.

Why?

Why is the notorious fraud Harriet Klausner allowed to post fake reviews here when real customers writing real reviews are censored?

Another excellent writer of historical novels

I am a fan of Anne Easter Smith and have read all 3 of them - A Rose for the Crown; Daughter of York and The Kings Grace. They all are excellent but I think I like the first one best. Look forward to the next one, Anne. Keep up the good work, and keep em coming!

Highly Recommended

Anne Easter Smith is a great story teller. She makes the book come alive. I have read her other three books about the York family and would recommend them all.

The King's Grace

Great book. I suggest anyone that enjoys historical fiction download this book. A must read!

Ms. Smith brings to life a court loaded down with Machiavellian-like politics and backstabbing

In 1485, Richard III, having incarcerated his two nephews Edward and Richard in the London Tower a few years earlier, dies in battle. Everyone including their illegitimate half-sister and frequent visitor Grace Plantagenet assumes the young York Princes who vanished were killed by him. Thus Henry of the House of Tudor claims the crown and ends the War of the Roses.

A few years later Perkin Warbeck arrives in London insisting he is the Duke of York, the younger Prince Richard and the rightful King of England, since he also claims his older sibling was killed by their uncle. Though her half-sister is the queen of King Henry VII and she herself is on the outer fringe of the court¿s retinue, Grace needs to know the truth whether Perkin is Richard or a ruse set in motion most likely by a bitter desperate Duchess Margaret to put the House of York back on the throne.

Using an ultra minor real person with links to all the major players in the late fifteenth century as an amateur sleuth, Anne Easter Smith provides the audience with a deep look at the fates of the two princes. The story line is driven by the heroine who wants to be truly accepted by her family as she figuratively swims the polluted Thames trying to determine if the claim is genuine. Fans will enjoy her efforts as Ms. Smith brings to life a court loaded down with Machiavellian-like politics and backstabbing while the major players on the English stage are given the minor treatment as support cast.
