The White Queen by Philippa Gregory

2.0

I wanted to like the book. I really did. But it just doesn't deliver. I know that due to lack of hard evidence literary liberties have to be taken. But the book tries to portray Elizabeth as the victim of circumstances and the politics of the time, while showing the actions of a petty immature girl, facing the consequences of her own actions, her lack of decisiveness and lack of political savvy, while laying guilt in everyone else's door. So in the end, you end up with a bland main character and narrator. I say make her evil or make her good, but make up your mind.
Don't know what else to say.
