THE WHITE QUEEN

 

“Philippa Gregory turns real-life historical royalty into royally entertaining novels.”


Time

 

“A rattling good yarn, extremely well told. . . . Gregory navigates herself faultlessly
through the period with a fine sense of what was distinctive about it.”


The Wall Street Journal

 

“Gregory’s exhaustive research, lush detail, and deft storytelling are all in top
form here . . . mesmerizing and historically rich.”

“Engrossing . . . Gregory has a deft hand with historical imagination . . . bright,
lyrical.”


The Washington Post

 

“Gregory earned her international reputation evoking sex, violence, love and betrayal
among the Tudors; here she adds intimate relationships, political maneuvering and
battlefield conflicts as well as some well-drawn supernatural elements. . . . [Gregory]
captures vividly the terrible inertia of war.”

—Publishers Weekly

 

“A sympathetic portrait.”

—Associated Press

 

“Gregory shows a sure touch from beginning to end, weaving a compelling story with
vivid characters.”


Library Journal

 

“It is a well-told story . . . richly detailed and fast moving. Gregory’s legion of
fans will be delighted.”


Booklist

 

“As always Gregory fills out all the dark corners of history and creates a thrilling
read, and again creates a portrait of female society that has more power (diamond-hard
women who will see their sons and husbands rule at any cost) than is generally acknowledged.”


Kirkus Reviews

 

“[Gregory] delivers another riveting tale of a strong woman, making her life leap
from the pages. History becomes an adventure, a mystery, a love story and a powerful
drama in her capable hands. This is what we read for.”


Romantic Times

 

“[Gregory] deftly develops Elizabeth into a sympathetic character from a history that
is not always kind to her.”

—Historical Novels Review

 

“Philippa Gregory has brought a depth of perspective to some of the iconic female
figures of English history, with impeccable research and an eye for the particular
challenges of women in a male-dominated society.”

—Curled Up With a Good Book

 

“Gregory’s new series is a breath of fresh air. . . . Gregory perfectly infuses history
with fiction—there’s enough history to make the story believable and even educational,
but enough fiction to keep readers flipping pages with engaging characters (especially
Elizabeth) that are complex and powerful. . . . Gregory has proven once again that
she is the queen of royal fiction.”
