About this listen

THE FIRST IN A STUNNING SERIES, THE COUSINS' WAR, FROM INTERNATIONALLY BESTSELLING AUTHOR PHILIPPA GREGORY

Set amid the tumult and intrigue of The War of the Roses, Philippa Gregory tells the story of one woman's ambitious ascent to royalty during the unsolved mystery around her sons' imprisonment in the Tower in a captivating family drama.

Elizabeth Woodville is a common woman who ascends to royalty by virtue of her beauty. A woman who rises to the demands of her position and fights tenaciously for the success of her family. A woman whose two sons become the central figures in a mystery that has confounded historians for centuries: the Princes in the Tower. Their fate remains unknown to this day.

From her uniquely qualified perspective, Philippa Gregory explores the most famous unsolved mystery, informed by impeccable research and framed by her inimitable storytelling skills.

fantastic story

I've read the novel and am revisiting this series. The book is brilliant and I'd definitely recommend. It was a shame it was abridged as some key bits were missed. Also Emilia Fox's reading of male characters in particular was very distracting and she did it in a really aggressive voice which often missed the point of the dialogue. I'd suggest reading this one instead.

Didn't work so well in audio

This is my favourite historical fiction audiobook.
The narrator is perfect and I love the little short medieval musical interludes at the start of each chapter.
The story was great and full of diverse well written characters.
