Rose of Raby: The First and Second Books in a Saga about the Yorks, Lancasters and Nevilles, Whose Family Feud Started the Cousin's War, Now Known as the Wars of the Roses, Told by Cecily Cecylee Neville (1415-1495), the Thwarted Queen
ROSE OF RABY is the first in a series of four books about Cecylee Neville (1415-1495), mother of Richard III and Edward IV, Queen by Right and Abbess.

For at the age of ten, Cecylee has already experienced too much violence at the hands of men.… (mais)

*I won a copy of this book via Goodreads Giveaways*
This was a unique read for me in that I don't normally read books written in this time period. The stories were short and to the point, very simple. They were also quite informative. I didn't particularly feel any emotional attachment as I was reading these, but still enjoyed them well enough. I also appreciate that they were written in modern English, and not geared more toward the language of the time.
I certainly can't imagine what it must have been like to be promised to someone at 9 years old, but was grateful for Cecylee that she was able to delay her marriage as she wished to. I was quite surprised that she fell for the archer, since Richard seemed to love her, but, she did. ( )
