About this listen

As King Henry VI slips into insanity and the realm of England teeters on the brink of civil war, a child is married to the mad king's brother. Edmund Tudor, Earl of Richmond, takes his child bride into Wales, where she discovers a land of strife and strangers.

At Caldicot Castle and Lamphey Palace, Margaret must put aside childhood, acquire the dignity of a Countess, and, despite her tender years, produce Richmond with a son and heir.

While Edmund battles to restore the king's peace, Margaret quietly supports his quest; but it is a quest fraught with danger.

As the friction between York and Lancaster intensifies, 14-year-old Margaret, now widowed, turns for protection to her brother-in-law, Jasper Tudor. At his stronghold in Pembroke, two months after her husband's death, Margaret gives birth to a son whom she names Henry, after her cousin, the king.

Margaret is small of stature, but her tiny frame conceals a fierce and loyal heart and a determination that will not falter until her son's destiny as the king of England is secured.

The Beaufort Bride traces Margaret's early years from her nursery days at Bletsoe Castle to the birth of her only son in 1457 at Pembroke Castle. Her story continues in book two, The Beaufort Woman.

Just “Meh”…

I guess I would best describe my review of this book as “indifferent.” I am a huge fan of books of this era, but of the books I’ve read this one falls sort of mid range as far as ratings go. It wasn’t the worst, but it was far from the best. I finished it only because it’s relatively short, I’m vaguely familiar with the story and because it was not altogether awful. Apologies I just don’t have a better word than “MEH” I did rather enjoy the voice of the narrator though. She had a lovely accent, which at times made the book somewhat enjoyable.

Extremely Engaging Novel

I've never listened to a story in this genre before, so I went into it not knowing what to expect. But I found myself thoroughly enthralled in it, looking forward with every chapter to find out what happens next. The only reason I docked one star from the performance was because at times, it was really difficult to tell the difference between the inner monologue and the dialogue, so that caused some slight confusion.
