About the book
The Goldsmith's Wife was eighteen year old Jane Shore whose golden beauty brought England's greatest lover to woo her in disguise. Exchanging Cheapside for Westminster, she became the favourite mistress of Edward IV and set his brilliant, profligate court ablaze with merriment. Whatever the consequences, nothing mattered to Jane beside the passion aroused by Edward's touch.
