The White Queen Book

Phillipa Gregory's is the master of historical fiction, and 'The White Queen' is the first in a brand new series following on from Gregory's success with ' The Other Boleyn Girl'. This time, the novel is set in the Plantagenet era commonly known as the War of the Roses, a turbulent period in English history before the Tudors. Gregory brings to life this era with the dramatic and personal stories of the spirited and indomitable women of the time, starting with Elizabeth Woodville, York Queen of England. The White Queen tells the story of Elizabeth, an ambitious and beautiful woman, who meets the newly crowned boy king and scandalously marries him in secret and becomes the new queen of England. Taking her new role very seriously, Elizabeth becomes a skilful political plotter and raises the profile of her family through carefully planned marriages and alliances. Despite fighting for the success of her family, her two sons turn on each other in order to win the throne of England and as a result become part of a mystery that has puzzled historians for centuries: the missing princes in the Tower of London.
