scottlukaswilliams 's review for:
The Red Queen
by Philippa Gregory
This was like reading The White Queen through a mirror, darkly. It is the same story but told through the POV of Margaret Beaufort. I found the title character to be somewhat two-dimensional -- almost a caricature. She is religious to the point of ridiculousness and uses "God's will" as an excuse for every action she takes. She is so single-minded and obsessive about getting her son on the throne that it becomes boring to read.
In truth, Margaret Beaufort may have been exactly like this. If so, she led a pitiable life but, I suppose, history bears out her single-mindedness.
