But One Life: The Story of Nathan Hale di Samantha Wilcoxson
This was good historical fiction about a true American hero - Nathan Hale. The story was well written and helped the reader understand more about that time period of our country.
This is well-written historical fiction, suitable for both young and older readers. It does a good job of humanizing a period of history that can feel very far removed from us today. It describes the life of Elizabeth of York, princess and queen of the late 1400s, member of the waning Plantagenet royal family, and eventually wife and mother of the emerging Tudor house. I felt so indignant at some of the aspects of life that these people took for granted... the battles, the executions to prevent other claimants to the throne, the idea that kings ruled by divine right and had the right to play God with the lives of their subjects...but me taking umbrage at all that and still managing to have a sympathy for the woman who feels she has to submit to all of it, was how I knew the book was well written.
There are no scenes of violence, only the mention of the end results, and this is a clean read otherwise.

The story of Elizabeth of York, daughter of Edward IV and later wife to Henry VII, the first Tudor King. Also the mother of Henry VIII. In this historical fictional account of her life we are at the end presented with an answer to who killed the princes in the Tower.
An enjoyable read of what is probably a lesser known Queen.

The story of Margaret Pole, daughter to George, Duke of Clarence, niece of Edward IV and Richard III. Though she eventually found favour within the Tudor court, befriending Catherine of Aragon and later her daughter Mary I. But what of Henry VIII, her fate is in his hands.
An interesting, well-written historical fiction book concerning a person I admit I knew nothing about.
