Why read it?

1 author picked The Beaufort Bride as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

The first book in Judith Arnopp’s Beaufort Chronicles tells the story of Margaret Beaufort’s challenging early life.

This book made me think again about Margaret Beaufort. Well researched with beautiful period details, and excellent storytelling.
