Philippa Gregory is pretty much the queen of historical fiction, especially if it's about the British monarchy. Once again, Gregory proves with "The White Queen" why her books are best-sellers. It's an excellent historical novel with a lot of well-researched facts, great writing, and an intriguing story line that involves the reader.
"The White Queen" is set during the War of the Roses. The main character is Elizabeth Woodville, the Lancastrian associated widow who became King Edward IV's York Queen.

The next book in The Cousins' War series (Philippa Gregory's trilogy set during the War of the Roses) is "The Red Queen". The main character in "The Red Queen" is one of Woodville's adversaries who appears in "The White Queen" as a minor character. I look forward to learning more about her and seeing history through her perspective.
