About this listen
FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE FAIRMILE SERIES, PHILIPPA GREGORY, COMES THIS COMPELLING NOVEL.
Somewhere beyond the shores of England, a Pretender is mustering an army. He claims to be brother to the queen, the true heir to the throne.
When Henry Tudor picked up the crown of England from the mud of Bosworth Field, he knew he would have to marry the princess of the rival house – Elizabeth of York – in an effort to unify a country divided by war for nearly two decades. His bride was still in love with his enemy, and her mother and all the loyal House of York still dream of their missing heir making a triumphant return.
Elizabeth faces a terrible dilemma: can she stand by a king whose support and courage are crumbling before her eyes? How can she choose between Tudor and York, between her new husband and the boy who claims to be her beloved lost brother. But is he the lost boy sent into the unknown by his mother, the White Queen, or a counterfeit prince? – a low-born enemy to Henry Tudor and his York princess wife?

Conflicting, and repetitive.
I actually quite enjoyed this book overall, however there were some discrepancies. Henry VII and Elizabeth of York famously had quite a loving marriage despite the circumstances in which it began, though I didn't get that impression at all through the book. It seemed that as soon as they found a connection/love, they had an argument and it was ruined for months, only for this pattern to be repeated constantly throughout. However, I did think Gregory's portrayal of Henry VII as extremely paranoid about the stability of his reign and the loyalty of those who surrounded him very realistic. I can't imagine he wouldn't have had these constant ups and downs considering the manner in which he came to the throne, and found this to be a fresh perspective. Overall, a good book by Gregory, though in terms of character relationships I have to say this is one of the rare instances where I preferred the TV adaptation.

I am a big fan of all the previous cousins war books, except this one
It just wasn’t as compelling as any of the other books. As others have said, it’s quite repetitive. Also, the nature of the relationship between king Henry and Elizabeth really bugged me.
Maybe I’ve got this wrong but I thought it was noted that Henry never had a mistress which was abnormal for a king of that time. I thought it was also noted that they had great affection for each other. I’m not a big fan of those sorts of changes.
I’m just getting through it so I can move on the the next book without missing out on any crucial details.

Well told story
I enjoyed this immensely, having an interest in the monarchy.
The story was well told and easy to visualise as it developed. If I have one fault with it, it is that it ended too suddenly with the rest of her life left untold. Despite this, I would recommend the book.

The White Princess
This book would have been better if it had been subjected to some serious editing.

Entertaining taste of history
Having little time for novels it's lovely to listen to something entertaining with a true historical taste. Assuages my guilt. I can relax but still feel I'm learning something. My 12 year old daughter loves it though we have to monitor certain "bits ". If your wanting a relaxing holiday listen ..This is your book !.

Enjoyable from start to finish
I found this book fascinating as it was clear that game play was certainly always at present. I really enjoyed an insight to these historical figures.
It was very well read

Sad but excellent
A brilliant take on the lost princes and the reign of Henry VII seen through the eyes of Henry's wife, a York Princess. It may or may not be what actually happened but it gives a great sense of the times and their uncertainty. Beautifully performed and constructed.
