Sandra Worth's books are so beautiful. She captures the true character of Richard III so wonderfully, and particularly his tender devotion to his wife. Reading her books, I always feel it is like a glimpse into the real world of the man behind the dreadful tainting of his character that has been imposed on him by those who treated him so badly.

I've not yet been able to read Sandra Worth's latest book, "The King's Daughter", and am longing to receive my copy as I know this is going to be as wonderful a read as Sandra Worth's previous books.
It's so lovely when someone discovers a more or less 'forgotten' person from the past and brings them to life again (I had the same feeling about C.W. Gortner's Juana book) and when what we take for granted is suddenly in the spotlight.

I would love to hear in advance from anyone who has already read this as the author is one whom I greatly admire....
