I absolutely loved this book. I think this is my favorite of the series. With other Phillipa Gregory books it took several chapters before I really got into the story, but with The White Princess I was hooked from the beginning.

The White Princess follows Elizabeth Princess of York as she enters a loveless marriage with Henry the VII. Her husband and her mother in law do not trust her as Henry the VII fights the people's loyalty towards the last remaining members of her family, the Yorks. Elizabeth must choose between her divided loyalties. She must choose between her husband and the pretender to the thrown which she believes is her brother.

I found the subject matter very interesting and I am very eager to read more about Richard III, the two princes in tower, and Perkin Warbeck.
