Customer Reviews

Absolutely fascinating!

I truly enjoyed this book by Alison Weir. It was fast paced, easy to follow, and not super drawn out. It went over her life under her father's reign during the War of the Tudors as well as her marriage uniting the Lancaster and Yorks. Highly recommend for anyone interested in the War of the Roses.
