The Sunne In Splendour by Sharon Kay Penman
3.0
The Sunne in Splendour by Sharon Kay Penman was both interesting and well-written. I found it particularly interesting as it deals with a time frame I'm not very familiar with as most histories, biographies, and novels I've favoured previously have covered the Tudor period.
Obviously reading it for the first time in 2024 changes how I came to it as a reader. The de-villianisation of Richard III has been going strong for a few years now, but I can imagine this would have been a very different and interesting take when first published.
In conclusion, my short, very reductive review of this book is that I did not expect to finish it having the hots for Richard III, but here I am.
