The Last White Rose: A Novel of Elizabeth of York by Alison Weir

2.0

---

I usually only read historical fiction about real people as an aid to solidifying my knowledge, as was the case here. And oh dear, this was a slog. It took me so long to get through I ran out of library renewals and had to check it out of a second library. I've read Alison Weir's non-fiction before, but never one of her novels, and it was so strangely written, like a middle grade for adults, or something. The first half was best, I really struggled once she marries Henry. I see there are pretty good reviews overall, but this wasn't for me.
