    Review: LADY OF THE ROSES by Sandra Worth

    "Step back in history to fifteenth century England during the War of the Roses with an awesome novel: LADY OF THE ROSES by award-winning author Sandra Worth."

    Queen Marguerite, wife to the docile but mad King Henry VI, has called her ward, beautiful fifteen year old Isobel, to her Lancastrian court. There, Isobel is expected to make an advantageous political marriage. However, Isobel is a romantic and has fallen in love with Sir John Neville, a Yorkist knight and unsuitable suitor. Isobel is not without family influence and cunning and eventually receives the Queen’s blessing to marry Sir John, who in turn pays an enormous bride price to the Queen’s coffers.

    In these stormy times it seems the newly weds are not meant to live in peace. The War of the Roses, Red vs. White, Lancaster vs. York, a struggle for the throne of England is raging bloody and all consuming. Sir John is immediately in the middle of the fight for power, swearing his loyalty to York while Isobel supports her husband as best she can despite the displeasure of Queen Marguerite and the cruelty of her uncle, now known as the Butcher of England. Their love seems to rise above the carnage and grow stronger even when John is betrayed by the very men he fought for. It is a love written in the pages of history.

    Gifted Sandra Worth crafts her story with authentic detail through research of the fifteenth century time period. Her characters come to life on the pages and are based on true people that played out this tale in history. Ms Worth brings passion and emotion to Isobel’s and John’s love story as well as the evilness and ugliness of the political War of the Roses; capturing her readers with her sobering accurate rendition of the past. All admirers of history, romance or fine literature will enjoy Sandra Worth’s educational and thoroughly entertaining novel, LADY OF THE ROSES.
