A review by sllingky
The Adventures of Alianore Audley by Brian Wainwright

5.0

The first book I have ever read that made me say to myself "I wish I had written that!" A positively hysterical spoof. Brian Wainwright writes Alianore with a very sarcastic and dry humor, and I loved every minute of this book. You may need to have a prior understanding of the Wars of the Roses in order to appreciate it in its entirety, but it can still be read for enjoyment at a different level if you are unfamiliar with the history. I'd recommend reading something like Sunne in Splendour by Sharon Kay Penman first if you want to understand the history and times first.
