About this listen

Anne Neville and her sister Isabel are daughters of the most powerful magnate in 15th century England. Ever ruthless, always plotting, in the absence of a son and heir, Warwick sets about using his daughters as pawns in his political games.

Anne grows from a delightful child brought up at the court of Edward IV and his queen, Elizabeth Woodville, intimacy and friendship with the family of Richard, Duke of Gloucester. Her life is overturned when her father turns on his former allies, escapes England and invades with an enemy army. Widowed at 14, fatherless, with her mother locked in sanctuary, and her sister a vengeful enemy, Anne faces the world alone.

But fortune's wheel turns once again. Anne plots her escape from her sister's house, finds herself a husband in the handsome young Duke of Gloucester, and marries without permission, in secret. But danger still follows her. She finds that she has a mortal enemy in the most beautiful queen in England. Anne has to protect herself and her precious only son from the treacherous royal court, the deadly royal rival, and even from the driving ambition of her husband - Richard III.©2015 Philippa Gregory (P)2015 Simon & Schuster

Where does The Kingmaker's Daughter rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

It's up there with the ones I'd listen to again.

What did you like best about this story?

Even though it is fiction, it's based on a real historical character using historical research and references, so I found it really informative whilst enjoying the authors personal take, relating to the characters thoughts and feelings.

Which scene did you most enjoy?

I loved the parts with Richard, as his character has been portrayed very badly through history and this story gave a different perspective on him and his good qualities, whilst subtly leading us to believe he could quite possibly have been bad too.
