The White Queen by Philippa GregoryMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I really enjoyed this book. Prior to reading this book I knew nothing of the cousins war or "War of the Roses" period in English History. This book tells the story through the eyes of Elizabeth Woodville. In this book you will see people switch sides and kill their own family members in order to gain power. Amongst the power struggles, is the story of two people in love and their desire to make the kingdom stable for their future heirs. I was surprised by the desire of people to become Royal and their to fight to the death to get there. Also mentioned in this book was the beginnings of "witchcraft" in the Royal House and its power.
