Reviews for The White Queen

Excellent!
Philippa Gregory is the queen of creating fascinating and engaging characters...and the White Queen is no exception. As usual, fiction meets non-fiction in an intricately woven world that is consistently unstable, unsafe and unsure. You will be drawn into this novel and its characters. Another Gregory masterpiece! by Alina

The White Queen
The White Queen by Philippa Gregory is a story about the royal houses of Lancaster and York. In particular it is a tale of Elizabeth Woodville an ordinary woman with extra-ordinary ambitions, who becomes queen of England in 1465. Married in secret, she captures the King`s heart and forms a new royal family.
This is a historical novel that contains more fiction and less fact than previous books by the author, due to a scarcity of historical records. But don`t let that deter you from reading this gripping tale. You will find yourself falling in love with Elizabeth and her Yorkist family who must fight against bitter rivals in order to hold the kingdom together.
Philippa Gregory tells the story with ease and grace - fit for a queen. by paul batty
