I have read other Gregory novels and enjoyed them all. I know only a very little about the York and Lancaster era so can't comment on the facts presented. If my confusion and frequent consulting of the genealogy tree are any indication, she wasn't as clear as she had hoped. It was an interesting story of Elizabeth Woodville and her time as Edward IV's queen, and, for me, a starting point to read other accounts of the times. To be fair, no doubt there aren't a lot of contemporary materials still existing to help any author when explaining the whys of things. The prose flows quickly and towards the end, I felt a little breathless with the fast-paced introduction of people and plots going on. Still I would say this was worth the three days it took to read.
