#90 (#26) - The Dark Rose ~ Cynthia Harrod-Eagles

The Dark Rose (Morland Dynasty)


Book 2 - Morland Dynasty

ISBN: 978-0-7515-0383-8


This is pretty much the start of the Morland Dynasty books - save for Book 1, "The Foundling" which is the base of the story.

Set in Tudor times around the Court of King Henry VIII it mostly revolves around Nanette Morland - a certain amount of incest as she married her Uncle Paul Morland, but go with it, that kind of thing happened a lot in that time period.

Lots of historical detail about Anne Boleyn and Katherine Parr, plus other Morland clan.

A highly enjoyable, if very long book that takes a bit of reading ..... a 3.5 **** Star read.
