The White Queen by Philippa Gregory

3.0

Glad I had seen the documentary by Philippa Gregory before I read this, as it's not a period of history I'm very familiar with. I did enjoy the way she entwines history with mythology and magic, but there was a bit too much repetition for my liking, and I could have done without as much on the battlefields (but then I suppose it was a book about the Wars of the Roses). Sufficiently intrigued to have bought the next two in the series, as I need to know what happens to the Elizabeths next - or where they are at the end of this book, to where history tells us they are going.
