The White Queen (Cousins War 1)
4 journalers for this copy...
'1464 Cousin is at war with cousin, as the houses of York and Lancaster tear themselves apart...
... And Elizabeth Woodville, a young Lancastrian widow, armed only with her beauty and her steely determination, seduces and marries the charismatic warrior king, Edward IV of York. Crowned Queen of England, surrounded by conflict, betrayal and murder, Elizabeth rises to the demands of her position, fighting tenaciously for her family's survival. Most of all she must defend her two sons, who become the central figures in a mystery that has confounded historians for centuries: the missing Princes in the Tower'.
I decided to read the Philippa Gregory books in chronological order rather than the order she released them so this is my next book, after having read 'Lady of the Rivers' which was about Elizabeth Woodville's mother.

I really enjoyed this book, I think there was a lot more fiction than fact, but the author does explain at the end of the book what was fact and what was fiction. Looking forward to the next one in the series.
Received as part of my present for the Birthday Group.

Thank you for the book! :)
I enjoyed this book even if I found it hard sometimes to follow who is who, because many characters have the same first name.
