The White Princess, Philippa Gregory (Penguin, $45)
Set in a time where people are executed on a whim, children disappear, and marriage has nothing to do with love, The White Princess is historical fiction at Philippa Gregory’s finest.
Elizabeth of York is mourning the loss of lover Richard III, when she is obliged to marry his usurper and murderer, Henry Tudor. Written in the first person, Elizabeth shares her innermost feelings about her role as princess, wife, queen and daughter with a sole purpose to breed and unite the kingdom. Filled with strong, and sometimes ruthless, women in a man’s world, nobody is safe, as armies gather against Elizabeth’s husband until she is forced to choose between her York and Tudor ties.
