rebeccajay 's review for:

The White Queen by Philippa Gregory
3.0

A slightly fictional account of the life of Queen Elizabeth Woodville and the York family- the ruling family that predated the Tudors. Having read quite a bit about the Tudors, I thought it was interesting to read even further back in history. Queen Elizabeth was a compelling character- she dabbbled in the mystical arts, was fiercely loyal to her children and husband and they gave us a rare view into a ruling couple that actually loved each other.
