Look out for a new novel by Philippa Gregory published soon by Simon & Schuster. The White Queen is the first in her new Plantagenet series and is about Elizabeth Woodville. It’s very readable, doesn’t gloss over her faults and ambition, but shows a great understanding of her love for her children, her family and Edward, plus an interesting slant on what may be an answer to the Princes’ mystery – although the author admits there is no proof of it. It will be interesting to see who is next in line for her attention
