5 stars

I love historical fiction and this did not disappoint. Learning about history through fiction is so much more enjoyable. Philippa Gregory definitely does her research. So great to see some not so "key" players come to life. How could history not have carried Jacquetta's story to the forefront. She was so integral to the War of the Roses. I'm happy to have read this and gotten to know her. On to the White Queen!
