This is the first of an uneven length trilogy of novels dramatising the life of Tudor matriarch Margaret Beaufort, mother of King Henry VII. This covers only the first 14 years of her life, but this packs in a lot, a betrothal when she was only 7 and a marriage to another man at the age of 12, and giving birth, with great difficulty, to her son, after the death of her husband Edmund Tudor of plague. At the end of the novel she is being introduced to the man who is to be her third husband, Henry Stafford. Telling a novel from the point of view of a child, albeit an intelligent and observant one like Margaret Beaufort, can be a challenge to put across, but she comes across quite realistically here.
