At the heart of England's most turbulent dynastic struggle stands Margaret of Anjou — a queen of fierce ambition, unwavering loyalty, and iron resolve — and Red Rose of Anjou chronicles her relentless fight to secure the English throne for the House of Lancaster during the bloody Wars of the Roses. Jean Plaidy transports readers to the treacherous courts of fifteenth-century England, where political allegiances shift like shadows and the price of loyalty is measured in blood, as Margaret wages war not only on battlefields but in the corridors of power against the cunning Yorkist claimants. Plaidy, the celebrated pseudonym of prolific British historical novelist Eleanor Hibbert, masterfully weaves meticulous historical research with compelling human drama, rendering the great figures of medieval England with vivid psychological depth. As the thirteenth volume in her magnificent Plantagenet Saga, this instalment stands as a testament to her unrivalled ability to illuminate the private passions behind public history — leaving the reader to wonder whether Margaret's sacrifices will ultimately be enough to hold a crown that seems destined to slip from her grasp.
