A review by secondari
The White Queen by Philippa Gregory

3.0

I enjoyed this tale. The introduction of myth and magic is a departure for Philippa Gregory who generally keeps to historical knowns in her historical fiction. I didn't know much about Elizabeth Woodville until I started reading this book. She certainly had an eventful life. The War of the Roses is a period of such chaos and destruction, makes the 21st century seem almost calm.

As always Gregory's prose is clear and easy to read. Pretty short book, easy read. Light. I recommend it as a good vacation, or beach read.
