Oh she’s horrible!
I’m not one for normally writing reviews, but had to on this one.
I hate hate hate the main character, but my goodness the story was gripping!

Fantastic Glimpse into History
This is an amazing glimpse into the life of a woman that history hasn't really highlighted. Margaret may be hard to like but the world she lives in and the events she witnesses and participates in more than make up for it

Excellent
Absolutely loved this book. The narration by Emily Watson was spot on. Must re-read Philippa Gregory 's White Queen and White Princess and the other books in the Cousin's War series.

As always, they do not disappoint
This is another great book by Philippa Gregory. You learn history with that spice of entertainment and "can't put it down". The narrators are also an important part of this quality entertainment. Highly recommended.

What a horrible person!!
While Margaret Beaufort is completely dislikable you can’t discount who she became through utter ruthlessness and conviction. This story plays it out wonderfully.
I’m a big fan of this author and have not only enjoyed her books but the tv adaptation of ‘The White Queen’ was fantastic.

horrible old witch!
The author has done a great job of tell the story of such a horrible narcissistic, hypocritical woman. I can only imagine it was done as a personal challenge. I've honestly never read a book with such a deliberately unlikeable protagonist.
Very well done!

Excellent!
This is my first audiobook and I loved it.
Read at a good pace with Tudor music introducing each chapter. I have read Philippa Gregory before and this was just as I had hoped.
