Cette volonté de pouvoir ne fait pas de Richard l'incarnation du Diable que l'on a souvent décrite : elle naît plutôt d'un désir de revanche sur la Nature qui l'a fait difforme et sur la société entière, sur ceux qu'il a aidés à prendre le pouvoir et qui le rejettent une fois que ses mains sont salies (c'est lui qui a tué Henry VI et ainsi permis à Edouard de monter sur le trône).

The world is closing in on Greta Driscoll. On the cusp of turning 15, she can’t bear to leave her childhood as it contains all the things that give her comfort in this increasingly unstable and incomprehensible new world. She floats in a bubble of loserdom with her only friend Elliott, until her parents throw her a surprise 15th birthday party and she’s flung into a parallel place; a world that’s weirdly erotic, a little bit violent and thoroughly ludicrous – only there can she find herself.
