Susan Higginbotham has brought us her third meticulously researched historical fiction novel,The Stolen Crown. The story of the secret marriage of Elizabeth Woodville to Edward IV of England is told through the eyes of Elizabeth's younger sister, Katherine. In the way of royal families, Elizabeth's many siblings are soon placed in marriages advantageous to the king, and Kate is married to Harry, the Duke of Buckingham.
Historical novels about the War of the Roses and its aftermath are everywhere right now, and I have read several of them. The Stolen Crown seems to be the most carefully researched and true to actual events, as they would have been seen through Kate's eyes. I often complain about historical novels not giving readers enough reference or background, and Susan Higginbotham always includes an interesting Author's Note, that I refer to often while reading. There is also a "cast of characters" in the front of the book, with descriptions and connections given.
I highly recommend Susan Higginbotham's The Stolen Crown to those interested in this era of history. It is interesting and exciting, written with an eye on the family behind the history.
