![]() ![]() If you love your historical fiction then this is for you, but I’m afraid I didn’t have the interest required to complete all 1000+ pages. It started really well, but the number of characters ballooned (to 50+?) and because I don’t know my history very well I found it impossible to keep up. I discovered this book contained the details and so bought a copy. I went to see the fabulous re-enactment of the Battle of Tewkesbury a few weeks ago, but because I knew nothing about the battle I decided to do a little research before going. ![]() Recommended.įive words from the blurb: Richard, loyalties, royal, battle, betrayed Disturbing in places, but positive overall. Written by a man who survived Auschwitz, this is a poignant reminder of the strength of the human spirit. ![]() Powerful book about how man can find hope in even the darkest of places. Man’s Search for Meaning by Viktor Franklįive words from the blurb: Holocaust, survivor, hope, life, human Recommended to those who are too disturbed by Shriver’s powerful writing and would like to approach the subject in a lighter way. If you want an exceptional novel about the Wars of the Roses and Richard III, The Sunne in Splendour by Sharon Kay Penman is a must-read. I am not sure why I waited so long to read this masterpiece, but I am glad I finally read it. It reminded me The Good Father by Noah Hawley and numerous other books that have tried to copy Lionel Shriver’s outstanding novel. This novel is truly a love letter to this period and a brilliant work of literature. This reads like a watered down version of We Need to Talk About Kevin. ![]() Five words from the blurb: son, suspect, murder, brother, family ![]()
