About this listen

THE SECOND NOVEL IN THE COUSINS' WAR SERIES FROM SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR, PHILIPPA GREGORY

Child-bride of Edmund Tudor, although widowed in her early teens, is determined to infiltrate the house of York under the guise of loyal friend and servant. It's the only way to ultimately ensure that her only son, Henry Tudor, triumphs as King of England.

Through collaboration with the dowager, Queen Elizabeth Woodville, Margaret agrees a betrothal between Henry and Elizabeth's daughter, thereby uniting the families and resolving the Cousins War once and for all by founding of the Tudor dynasty.

This was an enjoyable story, which for me starts to bring together the whole of Tudor history. Having, never studied history at school this is an eye opener for me as I begin to see who is who, who's related to who, and how are Regency was formed. This was a good listen well narrated and informative.

It all begins to slot together

I really enjoyed listening to the story and was good to hear the story from another point of view and good the hear the story from a woman's point of view. Unfortunately the narrator's voice grated on me slightly.

Enjoyable and informative. Margaret comes across as both sympathetic at least in her girlhood and obsessive/very cold.
Really wish the White Queen was available unabridged to listen to next to hear the other side of the story.

Great narration
