Margaret of York


So far I am meeting with this lady through a novel of historical fiction that seems to this point to be historical romance.  Daughter of York by Anne Easter Smith.   It is a new book in the mix, and so far I am enjoying it - the first novel I have started concerning an era I know a deal about.  The use of the 1460's as a backdrop is something I aspire to, so it is good to see another work with it.

Margaret seems realistic enough, a jeune fille with too much time on her hands.  So far, a dwarf has been bestowed upon her and she is showing some sophistication for her age in her dealings with that gift.  This in contrast to her amorous proclivities.  I fear she may become like Elizabeth I, in one pulled close to astray when young.
