jobustitch 's review for:
The White Queen
by Philippa Gregory
I have two problems with the Wars of the Roses in general. First, there are too many Richards, Henrys, and Edwards to keep a handle on and often I am cornfused. The second problem is that the most fascinating players (the women) are often glossed over in typical histories.
While the first problem is just something I will have to get over, the second problem is mitigated by the wonderful stories created by Alison Weir and Philippa Gregory. The authors' research gives their historical fictions new life and keeps me more interested than traditional histories.
In this book, the theme of Melusina throughout the book was a wonderful touch. I loved the relationships between Elizabeth Woodville and her mother and daughter. A fun read all the way through. I can't wait to read the rest of the books in this series.
