"The Wars of the Roses come spectacularly to life in Susan Higginbotham's compelling new novel about Kate Woodville, sister to Queen Elizabeth of England. A sweeping tale of danger, treachery, and love, The Stolen Crown is impossible to put down!"
-Michelle Moran, bestselling author of Cleopatra's Daughter
Today’s Free Fridays selection, The Stolen Crown by Susan Higginbotham, is a fascinating fictional take on England’s infamous War of the Roses.
Higginbotham’s protagonist, Katherine, is based on the little-known sister of Elizabeth Woodville—who secretly married King Edward IV. Much like the modern day Pippa Middleton, Katherine quickly learns that because of her sister's marriage, she'll never again lead a normal life.
With a front seat to the tumultuous civil conflict—the War of the Roses—that culminated in Tudor rule, Katherine is an astute and observant narrator, bringing to life one of the monarchy’s most fascinating periods.
Free Fridays Recommends
Each week, we ask our featured author to recommend a book or author that you may want to check out. Since authors are such passionate readers themselves, we thought you might like to find out what they love to read, too! Here’s what Susan recommends:
Anne Tyler is my favorite living novelist, and Saint Maybe is one of my favorite novels. Tyler takes a grim premise--an irritated teenage boy's careless words lead to the deaths of two people--and turns it into a witty, compassionate, and moving tale about change, redemption, and love.When I feel like re-reading a novel, this is one I always turn to.NOOK owners: go to shop and search for “Susan Higginbotham” to download her books.
