The White Queen by Philippa Gregory
4.0
adventurous dark informative mysterious reflective tense slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

As always, a fascinating account of a fascinating period in history.

The portrayal of the women of the Cousin's War is simply awe-inspiring.
The story of Melusina that is intertwined alongside the history of the war was also very interesting. 

And the eternal mystery of The Princes in the Tower... amazing work.

It's always a very educational experience to read these books. Fact and fantasy together, history and assumption, records and the filling of the gaps.

Philippa Gregory is a master at this.
