Özet
1469, England. For almost ten years, Edward IV has ruled with the Earl of Warwick’s support, but now rebellion threatens England’s fragile peace.
With the Midlands in uproar, the last thing King Edward needs is potential trouble in the form of an unwed heiress.
But, strong-willed and single-minded, Isobel Fenton is determined that nothing will separate her from her beloved manor of Beaumancote, even if she does have to marry to stay there.
Isobel is unaware of the importance she and her land represent, and of the agenda of the formidable Earl in whose care she finds herself. And as unrest boils into war, she is drawn into the very heart of the conflict.
Can Isobel escape from the web in which she is trapped and make her own path? Or will the Wheel of Fortune fail to turn in her favour…?

Good literature

C F Dunn’s beautifully crafted story, carefully weaves imagined people and events into the real history of England during the War of the Roses. Rich with detail, the story follows the raw and personal short of fictional Isobel Fenton as she enters, unwillingly, into the personal and political complexities of the time. Dunn captures the fickle and duplicitous nature of power. Those unfortunate enough to be granted it (or unwise enough to seek it) are forever under its yoke. It feels like the author is leading us into an ever more complex and developed story, so buckle up folks, this series is going to be an intense one!
It’s really worth the read/listen with a good narrator who creates great distinction between characters. The story is a slow-burn and absolutely brilliant - I thoroughly recommend!

Just as a heads-up for folks whom it may concern - SA/aftermath features heavily (but not graphically). It’s used intentionally here (rather than for the drama of a character suffering or ‘just cos’ as is often the way in modern media - especially historical).
Here, Dunn incorporates this theme purposefully to highlight power imbalances and injustices on a personal scale, and also to reflect societal views, expectations and restrictions of the time - specifically towards women in this case. It is tough to read some of these parts and some of the characters’ responses but it’s well done and well written, with care, intent and compassion.
Fantastic

The narrator has a nice voice and voices some of the characters well but when narrating the story and some of the male characters she slips into an almost meaningless staccato delivery full of small mispronunciations and she doesn't seem to understand what she is reading so she puts emphasis in the wrong places and at times I lost the sense of the text aswell as any enjoyment in listening. She seems to stop reading it as a story and rather as a series of words. That makes it hard to listen to. But then she'll get back to a more flowing way of speaking. I guess she made a choice to read this way but it doesn't do the novel any favours. I nearly returned the book but I'm too intrigued by the story. Probably better to read as a book.
Fascinating story, strange narration

Dunn’s meticulous research shines through in every aspect of the novel, from the political intrigue to the everyday realities of medieval society.
The characters are well-drawn and compelling, making it easy to become invested in their journeys. Wheel of Fortune is a must-read for historical fiction lovers, and I look forward to the next instalment!
One of the best books I have read!
