The Golden Yoke Historical Novel Review
Olive Eckerson’s The Golden Yoke portrays the Wars of the Roses era with Richard II’s son and Henry Stafford the Duke of Buckingham amid power struggles. The London critic highlights sympathetic depictions of Richard and the Kingmaker Richard Neville as well as a wide cast including the Lovells Woodvilles and Anne Neville. The review notes strong romance mystery and violence within a reasonably authentic background and recommends the work to readers of period fiction.
