In The White Queen the story focuses on Elizabeth Woodville as she rises from a commoner part of traitor family (her family supported the Lancastrian cause for a period during the cousins war) to Queen of England. Of course originally, she started with focusing on the central part of Tudor history, with books such as The Constant Princess, The Other Boleyn Girl and The Boleyn Inheritance for example.īut now she has gone even further back in history, to the house of the Plantagenet, telling the story Elizabeth Woodville and Edward IV and all the key players in that part of history. Now anyone who knows me well will acknowledge that I’m particularly fond of Tudor history – which is when Philippa Gregory’s novels first attracted me. I absolutely adore historical fiction, particularly when it focuses on Kings and Queens of the past.
