The White Queen by Philippa Gregory

4.0

This was the first time I spent some time with a book exclusively involving Elizabeth Woodville. I was not disappointed. Philippa Gregory did a wonderful job with including a lot of detail that is known about this time period. I thought that it was interesting that she opted to go with the most believed ending (her sons disappearing from the Tower) to a more hopeful one; although, anyone who is just a little versed in early English history knows that nothing would become of it. For a woman that lost so much during the wars, it was a ending fit for any mother. It added a warming touch to what would otherwise be a novel with so much death.
