I always enjoy Phillipa's novels of this era and I really love how she gives voices to the women in history who have been constantly overlooked. I understand people commenting that maybe the novel was boring because Elizabeth just sat around but really, in that time, as a queen who in reality, was more a prisoner of her husband and mother-in-law, what else could she do but sit and think and mourn for all the members of her family who lose their lives in The Cousins War.
I think The White Princess gives a great story of a Queen who was trapped but tried to make the most out of her situation, it tells the story of a divide in love and loyalties- a beloved brother feared lost, or your true-born son? Not to mention that this particular Queen is the grandmother of England's most famous monarch, The Virgin Queen....I thoroughly enjoyed it and I will always look forward to another Phillipa Gregory book!
