If you are the type who wants all the history straight and 100% this is not for you. This is a book that fills in the gaps that history cannot tell us with one possible story. It is well written in my opinion.

Where does The Rose of York rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
I enjoyed the book very much. I have been interested in Richard III since his grave was discovered in 2014. Although I suspect the portrayal of Richard III may be far too soft and flowery, the book is entertaining and I will read another on the same topic.What was one of the most memorable moments of The Rose of York?
The death of Galahad in the stormy sea.Which character – as performed by Robin Sachs – was your favorite?
John Neville, 1st Marquess of MontaguWas there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
I was touched by John Neville's letter to his wife, written just before he died. It made me think of warriors, of any culture, having tender feelings for the women who wait for them to return.Any additional comments?
I don't know if Richard III was as saintly as the character Sandra Worth has created in this book. Maybe he was! Or, maybe the real Richard was more like the villain portrayed by Shakespeare and other writers. At this point in time, it is unlikely we will ever know.I am an American with just a light knowledge of the history of England. When I read books like those in the Rose of York series, I always find myself Googling the characters to learn more. I did find it very interesting to look up characters such as the Nevilles, the Warwicks, etc.
Excellent Narration, Flowery Story

What made the experience of listening to The Rose of York the most enjoyable?
I like a different version of the evil Richard III than Shakespeare.What did you like best about this story?
I liked the story about Anne and Richard but the middle of the story gets bogged down with Edward and Elizabeth Woodville.What does Robin Sachs bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Anyone reading the book for me lets me do my housework while listening.Who was the most memorable character of The Rose of York and why?
Richard III because his story is so different from the evil version of Shakespeare's. I love learning about his devotion to Anne and his brother the King. I also thought the part about Warwick's brother and his wife was quite interesting.Any additional comments?
I will probably read more of the books by Ms. Worth, but am not really sure.Anne Neville and Richard III's love story.

This is a fairytale version of the story. It's not good historical fiction!! In fact, I would recommend reading books 1 and 4 of Phillipa Gregory's Cousins War series before touching this. I'm not a fan of PG, but her work on Ann Neville and Elizabeth Woodville is far more touching and well-researched than this book.
Read Kingmakers Daughter, then The White Queen. Anne Easter Smith's story of Richard III is also very good and available on Audible. Also The Seventh Son.
Great narrator!!
Skip this!! Read Kingmaker's Daughter instead!

How could the performance have been better?
The performance was stilted and had no rhythm. The sound seemed muffled. I can't comment on any areas as after 1 hour I could not continue.Very disappointed. What a waste of money.
Performance terrible. Could not continue.
