The White Princess
“It feels as if everyone is talking about princes and dukes and the House of York rising up again like a climbing plant bursting into leaf. Everyone has heard for certain from someone that the Yorks have a boy, an heir, that he is on a ship coming into Greenwich, that he has been hiding in a secret chamber in the Tower under a stone stair, that he is marching from Scotland, that he is going to be put on the throne by his own brother-in-law, Henry, that his sister the queen has him at court and i...s only waiting to reveal him to her astounded husband. That he is a page boy with an Englishman in Portugal, a boatman’s son in Flanders, hidden by his aunt the Dowager Duchess of Burgundy, asleep on a distant island, living off apples in the loft of his mother’s old house at Grafton, hidden in the Tower with his cousin Edward of Warwick. Suddenly, like butterflies in springtime, there are a thousand pretend boys, dancing about like motes in the sunlight, waiting for the word to come together into an army.MoreLess

oh, I love her books! she makes history come alive in a way that is both comfortable and adjustable to us modern readers. You could always sympathize with the women o the time, admire their courage, pity their loveless lives, and whatsmore, always, always live with the character. I'm not kidding; whenever I'm fed up with history, I go back to read her books because it, without doubt, manages to spark my interest agin.

This was so boring! I have loved reading The White Queen and The Red Queen so much that I've re-read both and I've watched the Starz television series half a dozen times! But I almost didn't finish this book. It was so repetitive, when "the boy" slipped through their hands for the fourth time and then the fifth time and then again I was so irritated, I wanted to know is there any more to the story? Is this it? Elizabeth was not the character I had hoped for either. I know that the author is trying to be factual when writing these books but they are fiction which gives some license to at least make it interesting.
