A review by suggsygirl
The White Queen by Philippa Gregory

4.0

My reading of the book coincided with me watching the documentary on the discovery of Richard the third's body in the car park in Leicester so it was actually a bit hard to tell fiction from reality for a while. I liked this book and even though some bits were far fetched by today's standards (all the mythology stuff) they believed all kinds of things so it's not beyond the realm of possibility. I always like Philippa's characterisations, especially of her female characters, and this book was no exception to that. I don't think this book is one of her very best but it's pretty darn good.
